The first person to look into electricity in some detail was William Gilbert, an English physician, and he gave it the term 'electricus' (which became 'electric' and 'electricity' over time). Bear in mind that he DISCOVERED electricity, no Invented. It was not created by man, as it already existed before we did.

∙ 14y agoThe first electric light was the Arc light invented in 1809 by Sir Humphry Davy.
The first daily used lamp was the Florescent light developed by Nikola Tesla. He was working for Edison at the time and was fired by him. Edison didn't want to pay Tesla for his invention as promised.
The Incandescent light that Edison is credited for was invented 40 years earlier in 1841 Frederick de Moleyns of England. The patent is on file in England.

How old was Albert Einstein when he invented electricity?
No one invented electricity, as it is a source of power, not a machine or idea. People invented machines to harness electricity, and invented theories of electricity, and Ben Franklin sort of discovered electricity, but Einstein had nothing to do with electricity, as he was a physicist. Buy a book on physics, one that is very good is an idiot's guide to physics, it will explain slot of what Einstein did, like relativity.
