Faith Parents were in the Sandemanian (Glassite) Church He incorporated his faith into his work Committed himself to God and science Stood firm in his faith

Jumpstarting the Interest for Physics Started a seven year appienticeshiop with George Riebau at age fourteen Read many books on the job, jumpstarting his interest for science Began attending lectures by Humphrey Davy

From Apprenticeship to Assistant Took avid notes during Davy’s lectures Turned those notes into a book Sent the book to Davy Soon after when Davy harmed his eye, Faraday was beckoned

Electro-magnetism Faraday’s first major discovery Initially explored in 1821 Decomposed the sulfate of magnetism in first experriment Later furthered the concept to produces electromagnetic rotation

From Assistant to Teacher In 1832, the University of Oxford gave Faraday an honorary doctorate in Civil Law Was the first Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal institute of Great Britain Faraday gave six Friday night lectures, nineteen series Christmas lectures and countless others.

Significant Scientific Contributions Built the first: electric Generator transformer Introduced the words: Ion Electrode Cathode Anode Discovered Benzene

Legacy of His Own Many Institutions, ideas and organizations have been formed because of Faraday’s influence: Faraday Institute for Science and Religion Faraday constant (F=eNsubA) Faraday’s Law
