Michael Faraday, FRS (September 22, 1791 - August 25, 1867) was an English chemist and physicist (or natural philosopher, in the terminology of that time) who contributed significantly to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.

Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current, and established the basis for the magnetic field concept in physics. He discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. He established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena.

His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology.

As a chemist, Faraday discovered chemical substances such as benzene, invented an early form of the Bunsen burner and the system of oxidation numbers, and popularized terminology such as anode, cathode, electrode, and ion.

Although he received little formal education and thus higher mathematics like calculus was always out of his reach, he went on to become one of the most influential scientists in history. Some historians of science refer to him as the best experimentalist in the history of science. It was largely due to his efforts that electricity became viable for use in technology. The SI unit of capacitance, the farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on a mole of electrons (about 96,485 coulombs). Faraday's law of induction states that a magnetic field changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force.

He was Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, the first, and most famous, holder of this position to which he was appointed for life.

These £20 notes featuring Michael Faraday were withdrawn from circulation in 2001. They are no longer 'legal tender' but can be changed for ones in circulation at the discretion of a bank. However, they are always payable at the Bank of England in Threadneedle St., London.

No, Michael Faraday did not receive the Nobel Prize. In fact, he died in 1867 almost 30 years before it was created by Alfred Nobel in 1895. Faraday, who was a pioneer of electromagnetism and chemistry, did, however, receive the Royal Medal in 1867 for his contributions to science.

According to The Great Scientists(164-169) Faraday had the rudiments of reading, writing and arithmetic but, while apprenticed to a bookbinder, read voraciously. He also worked for Humphry Davy as a secretary and later travelled to many of the major scientific centers in Europe with him as his assistant which probably also added to his education.

There is an area of suburban London called Hendon, about 13 km NW from central London, just past N. Circular Road. Hendon is within the London Borough of Barnet. Searches on "Hendon, London" will provide more information. (This Hendon is not to be confused with Hendon the city, in the north of England.)

Michael Faraday's mother was a hard working English woman that took care of Michael and his three silblings and his father who was often too ill to work. Margaret Hastwell raised her family in the Sandemanian Christian sect. She was born in 1764 and died in 1838.
