Nikola Tesla patented alternate current which is used worldwide to light house ad buildings. Edison began selling electricity with the direct current but lost all the grandeur.
Thomas Edison and MIchael Faraday both lived during the 19th century. They were both famous inventors. Edison grew up in America, however Faraday lived in England.
No he did not. He is associated with the invention of pasteurisation. He also invented some vaccinations. Thomas Edison is generally given credit for inventing the light bulb, though others had created them before he did.
Thomas Alva Edison
Thomas Edison and he invented it because he had been thinking about it for awhile. It took him several tries before he found the right combination of elements.

Thomas Edison did not discover electricity. Not even close. William Gilbert, Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, André-Marie Ampère, James Clerk Maxwell and many others preceded him. Faraday invented the electric motor before Edison was born.
DC, or Direct Current, was not invented in the traditional sense as it is a very simple and common way to transfer power through a conductor. Far too common to pinpoint the first person who discovered it. Thomas Edison developed direct current, but it was only with Nikola Tesla's help that Edison ever developed any useful generators for direct current. It's odd that we credit Edison with inventing the light bulb AND direct current when Nikola Tesla is to direct current what Edison is to the light bulb.
Thomas Edison invented the first electric power plant.
Bengamin frankin or Thomas edison. You could add Michael Faraday.
Electrical properties of matter were discovered in the early 1800's, including static and dynamic effects (Michael Faraday did a lot of this), but large scale generation did not start until around 1880, by Edison.
He didn't. Michael Faraday invented the carbon arc lamp for outdoor use creating light from electricity. Thomas Alva Edison perfected the filament light bulb making it practical for indoor use.
Thomas Edison's role models were Benjamin Franklin, Sir Isaac Newton, and Michael Faraday. He admired Franklin for his experiments with electricity, Newton for his scientific discoveries, and Faraday for his work in electromagnetism. Edison looked up to these figures for their groundbreaking contributions to science and innovation.
Thomas Edison tended to hold on to a particular idea too long. As a result Edison held on to the idea of using direct current instead of alternating current much too long. Edison invented the diode. When the triode was invented Edison continued to try to accomplish with the diode what the triode accomplished easily. His weakness was he did not see when an idea should be dropped.
Thomas Edison's role models included Abraham Lincoln and Michael Faraday. He admired Lincoln's honesty, perseverance, and determination, while he looked up to Faraday for his innovative contributions to science and technology, particularly in the field of electricity.
Michael Edison Satrazemis goes by Satro.
Actually, Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb, Michael Faraday did. However, the lightbulb used low voltage and a platinum wire. Edison wanted to bring electricity from a generator over wires into peoples' homes and have light bulbs work there. So Edison needed a lightbulb that would use a filament at high temperature and high voltage. Edison had to create the entire system: generator, wires, meters, fuses, and bulbs. Then he could sell light bulbs and electricity. He did not just invent one item, but the entire system.
