During the last 400 years, most scientists have relied on mathematics for the development of
their inventions or discoveries. However, one great British scientist,
Michael Faraday, did not make use of mathematics. Faraday, the son of a poor Blacksmith, was
born in London in 1791 and had no education beyond reading and writing.
In 1812, Faraday was hired as a bottle washer by the great chemist Humphry Davy. Later,
Faraday became a greater scientist than Davy, making the last years of Davy’s life embittered with
jealousy.
Faraday made the first electric motor in 1821, a device that used electricity to produce
movement. Then Faraday became interested in the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
In 1831, he discovered that when a magnet is moved near a wire, electricity flows in the wire. With
this discovery, he produced a machine for making electricity called dynamo. Faraday then went on
to show how electricity affects chemical substances.
Because Faraday believed that money should be given to the poor, when he grew old, he was
very poor. However , Queen Victoria rewarded him for his discoveries by giving him a stipend and
a house. He died in 1867. 56. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Faraday?
