Sarah Barnard at the Sandemanian church through his family and on June 12, 1821, they got
married. In this same year, he started to specialize and focus on the electricity and magnetism
fields, for his contributions to these areas is that he was most famous. In 1824, he became a
member of the Royal Society and the next year replaced Davis as laboratory director in the
Royal Institution. In 1831 started the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures that were a series of
annual speeches for children about curiosities and advances in science. In 1833 he was teacher
of Chemistry of the Institution. In 1838 and 1844 he became a foreign member of the Royal
Swedish Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Sciences respectively. In 1848, the
Prince Consort Albert gifted Faraday a house in Hampton Court and he went to live in this house
in 1958 when he retired from the Royal Institution. Faraday died on August 25, 1867, in his
house.

Regarding his Contributions to science, In 1825, Faraday isolated a new gas of a streetlight
and of this form he discovered the benzene, in 1834 he realized many experiments and
established the Faraday's laws of electrolysis, These laws used to express magnitudes of
electrolytic effects. Also In 1831, he found a way of producing a voltage or an electrical current
in a closed circuit using magnetic fields and not batteries, with this created the Faraday's Law of
Electromagnetic Induction. These were only some contributions, but he did many more.
