James Faraday and Margaret Hastwell(parents) was not very fortunate in wealth so Faraday only had a basic formal education. Growing up, Faraday would educated himself reading books from the local library. At age 14, he became an apprentice to the local bookbinder. The next seven years he educated himself in mostly wide ranged scientific literature. At age 21, he attended four lectures given by a chemist professor named Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution. He wrote to Davy later on and required a job as an assistant. Was turned down but at 22 years of age, he was appointed a job of chemical assistant at the Royal Institution. At age 30 he was married to his sweetheart Sarah Barnard. In Michael Faraday's middle age years, he took many tours with Humphry Davy and his wife to an European tour and meeting influential scientists. On their return, Faraday wrote a book on on electromagnetic rotation, the principle of the electric motor, which became influential to other scientists. In 1831, Faraday made a discovery of electromagnetic inductions which is the principle of the electric transformer and generator. It was very important for allowing electricity transformed from a curiosity into a new technology. For the next ten years, he worked on developing on different ideas of
