In his experiment, Faraday closed the opening by attaching the metal lid of the pail to the thread suspending the ball, so when the ball was lowered to the center of the container the lid covered the opening. [1] [3] However this is not necessary. The experiment works very well even for containers with large uncovered openings, like Faraday's pail.
A close-up image of a candle showing the wick and the various parts of the flame; Michael Faraday lectured on "The Chemical History of a Candle".The Royal Institution's Christmas Lectures were first held in 1825, [2] and have continued on an annual basis since then except for four years during the Second World War.

Title page to the first edition. Intended for young beginners, for whom it is well adapted, as an introduction to the study of chemistry. [3]According to Frank Wilczek: . It is a wonderful laying-bare of surprising facts and intricate structure in a (superficially) familiar process — the burning of a candle.

Fig. 3: A Kelvin water dropper set up at the 2014 Cambridge Science Festival. If the buckets are metal conductors, then the built-up charge resides on the outside of the metal, not in the water. This is part of the electrical induction process, and is an example of the related "Faraday's ice bucket".
English: Diagram of electric fields in Faraday's ice pail experiment.A charged object (small sphere) is placed inside a conductive metal shell (large sphere).The electrostatic field of the interior charge causes the mobile charges in the metal to separate, inducing a positive charge on the inner surface of the shell, and a negative charge on the outer surface.
