Хотя Фарадей наслаждался всемирной популярностью, он оставался скромным человеком, никогда не желая принять высокие титулы или получить деньги за его многочисленные открытия. Он был одним из тех великих людей, которые сделали возможным век электричества, в котором мы живем, все чудеса оно приносит нам и всем тем, кто может донести это до будущих поколений.
