179 1 year, Faraday was born in a poor blacksmith's house in the suburbs of London. Father's income was meager, he was often ill and had many children. Faraday didn't even have enough to eat when he was a child. Sometimes he can only eat one loaf of bread a week, let alone go to school.

When Faraday 12 years old, he went to the streets to sell newspapers. When I sell newspapers, I can read from them. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, Faraday entered a printing factory as an apprentice in book binding. He bound books while studying. Whenever he has free time, he leafs through the bound books. Sometimes even on the way to delivery, he walks and watches. After several years of hard work, Faraday finally took off the hat of illiteracy.

Gradually, Faraday can read more and more books. He began to read the Encyclopedia Britannica, and often read late into the night. He especially likes books on electricity and mechanics. Faraday had no money to buy books, so he used waste paper from the printing house as a notebook, extracted all kinds of materials, and sometimes illustrated himself.

By chance, Dances, a member of the Royal Society of England, came to the printing factory to check his works and stumbled upon Faraday's Manuscript. When he knew that it was a note written by a bound apprentice, he was surprised, so Dance gave a lecture ticket to Faraday Royal College.

Faraday came to the Royal College with excitement. It was David who made this report, a famous English chemist at that time. Faraday stare big eyes, very attentively listening to David's lecture. After returning home, he compiled the lecture notes into a book as a chemistry textbook for self-study.

Later, Faraday sent his carefully bound chemistry textbook to Professor David with a letter, which said, "I am very willing to escape from business and enter the field of science, because according to my imagination, science can make people noble and amiable."

David was deeply moved when he received the letter. He admired Faraday's talent very much and decided to recruit him as his assistant. Faraday was very diligent and soon mastered the experimental technology and became David's right-hand man.

After half a year, David will make a scientific research trip to the European continent, visit famous scientists in European countries and visit chemical laboratories in various countries. David decided to take Faraday abroad. In this way, Faraday traveled in Europe with David for a year and a half, met famous scientists such as Ampere, gained a lot of knowledge and learned French.

After returning home, Faraday began to conduct independent scientific research. Soon, he discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. 1834, he discovered the law of electrolysis and shocked the scientific community. This law is named Faraday's law of electrolysis.

Faraday, relying on hard self-study, stepped into the ranks of world-class scientists from an apprentice who had never attended primary school. Engels once praised Faraday as "the greatest electrician to date".

1867 On August 25th, Faraday sat in his study and died at the age of 76. Because of his great contribution to electrochemistry, people use his surname-"Faraday" as the unit of electricity; Use the abbreviation of his surname-"Farah" as the unit of capacitance.
