By 1831, Faraday had reached worldwide fame. He was also invited by the royal society to give a lecture in 1829 at their annual bakerin. His salary remained at 100#s a year but his side buisness(commercial chemistry analysis) had swelled to 1000#s a year in 1830. He soon went on a new quest about magnetism arising from electricity. By the early 1800s, there was 2 main ways of producing electricity. They were friction like a static shock machine and chemically like a battery. Faraday thought of an experimental way to make electricity. It was induction. It was draw upon an object's innate electrical or magnetic essence to stimulate current in and adjacent wire. Faraday tried doing this experiment several times but failed every time. One day he tried it again using a 6" iron ring connected to a battery an found that it twitched when he connected it. He eventually experimented with different windings and different magnets to change how much he needle jumped.
