Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith. There were four children in his family and,with his father often ill and unable to work,Michael Faraday had to earn his living from an early age. This meant little or no schooling. However,the family belonged to a religious group,and Faraday learnt to read and write at Sunday School.
When he was only fourteen,Faraday found a job as a bookbinder(装订工).He used to read the books he was given to bind and he became very interested in the scientific books,particularly the ones about electricity. His interest soon took a practical path and he began conducting his own experiments. These were very basic because Faraday had to make all of his equipment himself. However,he was very careful and kept a clear written record of all his findings.
One day he was given an entrance ticket to the Royal Institute chemistry lecture,given by Humphry Davy. Determined to work for this great scientist,he sent Davy a job application and included his laboratory reports on the experiments he had carried out. In 1813 Davy offered Faraday a job as one of his laboratory assistants. Faraday learnt quickly and soon was recognized as a very able analytical chemist. Later he went to work at the Royal Institute.
Michael Faraday was,perhaps,the greatest practical scientist of the 19th century. As a chemist,he discovered the benzene(苯),which is now the focal point of chemical study. He also proved the relationship between electricity and chemical bonding(化学键合).As a physicist,he invented the dynamo,which led to the later invention of the electric motor. He also discovered the effect of magnetism(磁)on light rays.
