Research Paper On Michael Faraday

I have decided to write about Michael Faraday, nicknamed the Truth Seeker. He was the third child of his parents James and Margaret Faraday. There were 4 children in their family all together. Michael was born in 1791. His parents were poor, his father, a blacksmith, was rendered unable to work, but he was very kind. His mother was also very kind and loving, but uneducated.
Michael and his siblings were educated in reading, writing and arithmetic at a small school. Since the family was poor, the children had to earn a living. At the young age of 13 years old, Michael became an errand boy in a bookseller’s shop. He delivered newspapers for a mere penny.
Beginning in 1805, he apprenticed with a bookseller and learned how to bind and …show more content…

This was a big deal then. Michael loved science and using the knowledge he gleaned from Sir Humphry, soon he created a simple battery harnessing energy for use. He wrote to Sir Humphry asking if he could apprentice with him and he included a copy of his bound volumes of notes he had taken during his lectures, but did not receive a reply.
Michael Faraday understood the importance of respect for morality in the companions of his life. He was very picky about the friends he allowed into his life. I learned from this and I too, should be careful about who I choose for friends. Eventually, he worked for a Frenchman in London who had a nasty temper.

He was so impressed with the volumes which Michael had done, that he looked for him until he found him.
Sir Humphry Davy hired him for $6.00 whole dollars a week and a place to live in the very top of his house. He was to clean his instruments and be helpful during his lectures and teaching. That was a lot of money back …show more content…

Upon this discovery, magneto-electric machines were produced. Those magneto-electric machines were used to generate electricity for the electric light, electro-plating and other uses of electricity. This was interesting to me because before this, I had only heard about Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin and electricity. It was neat to me to learn about Michael Faraday. He also discovered electric induction. That is when one electric current will carry electricity to another electric current through a wire. From that discovery, the telephone became
