who inveted the electricity?

Answer 1

It was not invented. There was lightning since very very early.

Answer 2

Electricity had evolved through several experiments conducted at many places round the globe and here is its story:

English physician William Gilbert published the first scientific study of electrical and magnetic
phenomena in 1600. Gilbert was the first to apply the term electric (Greek elektron) to the force that
such substances exert after rubbing. He also distinguished between magnetic and electric action.

Faraday made many contributions to the study of electricity in the early 19th century was also
responsible for the theory of electric lines of force.

The Italian physicists Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta conducted the first important experiments
in electrical currents. Galvani produced muscle contraction in the legs of frogs by applying an
electric current to them. Volta in 1800 announced the first artificial electrochemical source of
potential difference, a form of electric battery. The Danish scientist Hans Christian Oersted
demonstrated the fact that a magnetic field exists around an electric current flow in 1819, and in 1831
Faraday proved that a current flowing in a coil of wire could induce electro magnetically a current
in a nearby coil. About 1840 James Prescott Joule and the German scientist Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz
demonstrated that electric circuits obey the law of the conservation of energy and that electricity is a form of energy.

The Dutch physicist Hendrik Antoon Lorentz first advanced the electron theory, which is the basis
of modern electrical theory, in 1892. The American physicist Robert Andrews Millikan first accurately
measured the charge on the electron in 1909. The widespread use of electricity as a source of power
is largely due to the work of such pioneering American engineers and inventors as
Thomas Alva Edison, Nikola Tesla, and Charles Proteus Steinmetz.

Answer 3

No one invented electricity, the same as no one invented light or heat.

William Gilbert was the person who invented the word "electricity". Michael Farraday was the first to invent a mechanical device that could generate electricity, with Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan being the first to actually apply generated electricity (they invented the first incandescent lamp and used them to light city streets in New York City).

Still, people were investigating the effects of electricity way back during the time of the Greeks.

Answer 4

Electricity was not invented...it has always been. It was discovered by Benjamin Franklin when he put a kite in the air with a key attached to it and the lightening came down and hit the key.

Have A Good Day!

Answer 5

No one invented electricity, it was discovered. There were certain forms of crude batteries used by the Greeks and Babylonians about 2500 years ago.

Capacitors were first invented in the mid 1700's, and Ben Franklin as I'm sure you've heard was one of the first to really experiment with electricity. See wikipedia.org

Answer 6

Eletricity wasn't invented, it was discovered

The current electricity was discovered by an Italian scientist called (Galvani) in the 19th century, he observed that the legs of a frog contract violently when its ends connected to an iron & brass wires

From this observation another Italian scientist called (Volta) in the 19th century also designed a simple electric cell obtained an electric current

i hope u got ur point from my explanation

Answer 7

most people think Franklin, but in actual fact it was Nikola Tesla and it was also he that invented alternating currant and phased electricity, he was the first also transmit electricity over long distance without wires, He is also responsible for the Tesla coil among other things. He is often written up as an American physicist, but he was Yugoslavian, born in Smiljan,in 1856, studied at Graz, Prague,and Paris, he went to America in 1884,
and died in 1943

Answer 8

Electricity wasn't really "invented" in the true sense of the word. Benjamin Franklin discovered that lightning was in fact electricity and was able to come up with how it could be used.

Answer 9

Electricity was not invented. It was discovered, much like heat, and oil and all the other massively lucrative "stuff".
And it is often accredited to Ben Franklin with a kite...
...in a thunderstorm...
...arguable that he was either extremely brave, extremely lacking of common sense or ...
...never the less... absolutely very lucky to actually survive to tell of his findings.

Answer 10

People! You can not be serious. Even if this Franklin story about the kite was true (which it is not), how can you still say he discovered electricity after somebody reminded you of it's use long before he wet his bed?

Answer 11

Electricity is a form of energy involving the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The nucleus contains positively charged particles called protons and uncharged particles called neutrons. The nucleus of an atom is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons. The negative charge of an electron is equal to the positive charge of a proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually equal to the number of protons. When the balancing force between protons and electrons is upset by an outside force, an atom may gain or lose an electron. When electrons are "lost" from an atom, the free movement of these electrons constitutes an electric current.
Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy. We get electricity, which is a secondary energy source, from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which are called primary sources. Many cities and towns were built alongside waterfalls (a primary source of mechanical energy) that turned water wheels to perform work. Before electricity generation began slightly over 100 years ago, houses were lit with kerosene lamps, food was cooled in iceboxes, and rooms were warmed by wood-burning or coal-burning stoves. Beginning with Benjamin Franklin's experiment with a kite one stormy night in Philadelphia, the principles of electricity gradually became understood. In the mid-1800s, everyone's life changed with the invention of the electric light bulb. Prior to 1879, electricity had been used in arc lights for outdoor lighting. The lightbulb's invention used electricity to bring indoor lighting to our homes.

Theory
An electric generator (Long ago, a machine that generated electricity was named "dynamo" today's preferred term is "generator".) is a device for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The process is based on the relationship between magnetism and electricity. When a wire or any other electrically conductive material moves across a magnetic field, an electric current occurs in the wire. The large generators used by the electric utility industry have a stationary conductor. A magnet attached to the end of a rotating shaft is positioned inside a stationary conducting ring that is wrapped with a long, continuous piece of wire. When the magnet rotates, it induces a small electric current in each section of wire as it passes. Each section of wire constitutes a small, separate electric conductor. All the small currents of individual sections add up to one current of considerable size. This current is what is used for electric power.

An electric utility power station uses either a turbine, engine, water wheel, or other similar machine to drive an electric generator or a device that converts mechanical or chemical energy to electricity. Steam turbines, internal-combustion engines, gas combustion turbines, water turbines, and wind turbines are the most common methods to generate electricity.
