On the question of who invented electricity, there is no answer.It was impossible to do, because it objectively exists in nature.Another question is who gave the name of the directional movement of charged particles and energy received in its result.It made William Gilbert, described in his scientific work, dated 1600 year results of their research with amber.Scientific ter pieces of hardened resin of the cloth, why they acquired the ability to attract different light objects, as well as the name of this beautiful mineral Greek sounds like an electron, and an open phenomenon became known as consonant words.
But to say that Gilbert invented electricity, of course, impossible.In fact, the priority in determining the properties of amber is not entirely correct, given that Thales in ancient Greece, too, rubbed it on the coat.However, unlike the English scientist who lived in the XV-XVI centuries, he did not conclude that our entire planet behaves like a giant magnet, and its bipolar nature.So great researcher Gilbert took a giant step towards the study of energy in future has become one of the main driving forces of progress, without which modern civilization is impossible to even imagine.
There is an ancient saying: the right to name - so correctly grasp.In a sense, the question of who invented the electricity is still open, his research is ongoing.
especially the rapid development of electronics occurred in the eighteenth century.Pieter van Musschenbroek created the world's first electric drive - the Leyden jar, the prototype of modern batteries.
history of the discovery of electricity and its properties continued by Benjamin Franklin, the US president, whose face is known to all in the image on the hundred-dollar bills.He was the first theorist of the new science, and also the inventor of the lightning rod.
Simmer introduced the concept of electrical poles.Almost simultaneously in Italy Galvani puts bold experiments with muscle tissues of animals by exposing them to current.
If we who invented electricity, the Volt is that at the turn of the XIX century constructed the battery, the principle of which is widely used today, and will certainly be used as long as there is humanity.
Faraday paved the way for all devices using the principle of induction - electromagnets, electric motors, transformers, coils retractor and many other elements of modern technical devices.For two decades, he and Ampere and Maxwell made several discoveries equivalent of this scientific revolution.
fundamental discovery was the definition of Joseph Thomson as an electron carrier material electricity.This happened in 1879.
expression "to pay for the light" is used quite often.In this sense, one of those who invented electricity, was our compatriot Lodygin who developed such a necessary thing, like a light bulb, and sold the patent to Thomas Edison in 1906.
