When Was Electricity Invented
when was electricity
invented Electricity is such a fundamental part of modern existence that it's
diff ult to imagine life with out it
at least a couple of thousand years its only in
the last century so that we've been able to harness electricity as a source of
energy and use it to power our homes
Ready for a quick history lesson? in this blog
post we're going to take a quick trip back in time to explore the evolution of

Introduction
When was electricity invented Benjamin Franklin
is credited for discovering electricity in the 1700s with his kite experiment
in which he flew a kite with a metal key to it during a thunderstorm in science
electricity and its history is a fascinating to help for you step by step
How Does Electricity Work
Electricity is created when electrons are
transported from one place to another through a conductive medium ,by a moving
magnetic field from a generator .the electrical force that pushes electrons in
the voltage and the number of electronics that in a wire is the current that is
exact ally how does work electricity
William Gilbert's investigation ( 1600 )
William Gilbert (England) first the term
electricity from electron,Greek word word for amber .Gilbert wrote the
electrification of many substances .he was also the first person to use the
terms
electric force,magnetic pole and electric
attraction Gilliam Gilbert ,who was a scientist and physician he was the first
person to recognise that there was a connection between magnetism and
electricity, electricity and first to describe the earth's magnetic field.
Allesandro Volta's invention of the voltaic pile
( 1745 - 1827 )
Alesaro Volta (born February
18,1745,Como,Lombardy [Italy]-died March 5,1827,Como) he was Italian physicist
whose invention of the electric battery provided the first source continuous
current
Alessandaro Volta created the very simple
battery using pure silver and zinc discs,placed between muslin which was
dampened wit a salt solution.this was developed from Galvani's experiment with
the frog's legs
Michael Faraday's contribution ( 1791 - 1867 )
Michael Faraday (born September
22,1791,Wilmington,survey,England -died August 25,1867,Hampton Court,Surrey)
English physicist and chemist whose many experiments contributed greatly to the
understanding of electromagnetism .Micheal Faraday demonstrated electromagnetic
induction by passing a magnet through a coil of wire
Andre Ampere (1826)
Andre Marie Ampere ( born January 20,1775,Lyon
France -died June 10,1836 Marseilles) was a French Physicist who founded and
named the science of electrodynamics now known as electromagnetism his name
during in everyday life in the ampere the unit for measuring electric current
Nikola Tesla (1800s)
Nikola Tesla was an electrical and mechanical
engineer and inventor in the late 1800s to mid 1900 he was considered Serbian
-American, as he was ethnically Serbian but but born in the modern Croatian
region of the former Asturias-Hungarian Empire .Tesla contributed multitude of
different invention and innovation during his life time ,but it was his
discoveries of rotating magnetic fields/current that led to invention of an
alternating current (AC) motor and Tesla coil which are Regarded as his most important
contribution to Society.
Thomas Edison and the developments of the
Practical electric lights bulb ( 1847-1931)
Thomas Edison (born February 11,1847,Milan,
Ohio,U.s-died October 18,1931,west Orange ,New jersey) American inventor who
singly ,held a word -record 1,093 patents .in addition ,he created the world's
first industrial research laboratory.Thomas Edison was American inventor who is
considered one of American's leading businessmen and inventors ,Edison rose
from humble beginnings to work as an inventor of major technology ,including
the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb. He is credited to day
for helping to build American's economy during the Industrial Revolution.
Types Electricity
Static Electricity The imbalance between the positive
and negative charges with in an object causes the discharge of an electrical
pulse knows Static Electricity
Electric Current is the flow of electrons
through a complete circuit of conductors it is used to power every thing from
our lights to our trains
Advantages of electricity
Easily accessible and produced
Using a wide variety of renewable and non-renewable source of energy in producing electricity make it easy to assemble every one can access electricity
Renewable source of energy
electricity is generated by humans by various methods regularly to fulfil their electric needs of human therefore, it is considered a renewable energy source as it can be produced daily.
Easy to manage an transport
with proper planing or management ,electricity transmission is possible on a large scale over a long distance .electricity can transport and cover long distance through medium like wire
Versatile and easy to transform
Electricity is versatile as it can be transformed into another type of energy according to user utilisation it can be converted into motion
Reduces greenhouse emission
Electricity can be produced via renewable energy sources such as wind and solar which are much cleaner and environmentally friendly due to this electricity and its production
more efficient and convenient
Electricity is a convenient and efficient energy sources making many appliance and devices functional it has minimal energy loss in the generation process and transmission over long distance
dis- advantages of electricity
Cause InjuriesAn electric shock my result in injuries divide into three parts flame, lightning , flash
Impact on health
Electricity power generated from power plant
causes severe damage to health the emitted chemical pollutant impact the ifferent
areas or organs of the human body that cause dieseases
Cost of cnstruction
Electricity or electric work in construction can
change about 10%-12% of the total construction cost ,excluding land cost
construction and maintenance of power plant need money
Concusion
Electricity was never its a form of energy which
has always existed throuugh out the universe so it was discovered how ever the
term electricity was coined by a guy called William Gilbert in1600 to describe
static electricity and the were also two other men Benjamin Franklin and
Micheal faraday who were at the fore front of its research and implelmentation
