Michael Faraday, founder of the doctrine of the electromagnetic field
If Michael Faraday were not in world history, we would not have computers, electricians, stainless steel, aluminum spoons and much more. Although he did not even have a secondary education, it was he who first created the electric generator, and eventually the electric motor.Not having the opportunity to study in college, Michael is engaged in self-education, in-depth study of physics and chemistry. The talented young man is noticed by the famous physicist Humphrey Davy and invites Michael to help him. Since 1813, they travel together in Europe, where the future inventor gains valuable experience.
After returning to England, the future inventor begins an independent experimental activity. For ten years, he has been studying the relationship between electrical and magnetic phenomena. These studies ended with great discoveries.His discoveries have won wide recognition in the scientific world. Here is the statement of one of the scientists: "No one since the time of Galileo has made so many great and different discoveries that have come out of one head."
Faraday was not only a brilliant scientist, but also an exemplary family man. Together with his beloved wife Sarah Bernard, he lived until his death in a happy marriage.
Faraday did not like social life. All that was valuable to him was family and ministry in the church. He served in the church, and sometimes on Sunday preached. Famous people of England came to listen to his sermons. At the age of 50, Michael Faraday was made deacon of this Protestant church.
