MICHAEL FARADAY

Michael Faraday was faced with supporting a family while still attempting to gain an education by teaching himself and attending lectures. Surely this is a difficult balance to keep, but his perseverance allowed him to surpass his job as a book binder and find a connection between electricity and magnetism. Thus, the Law of Electromagnetic Induction is discovered. Faraday should be respected for his discovery, but more so for the terms in which he described it. He was of the first to make his law understandable to the common person, instead of riddled with mathematical jargon that only the highest scholars could comprehend. I personally admire his move towards simplicity with a much more than letting on complex idea. The average joe was then able to comprehend and grasp the usefulness of it.
