∙ 10y agoYes they did. Electricity was exhibited as early as the 1840s, though its practical application came later. The American Thomas Edison patented the lightbulb in 1879, and by the turn of the century electric light had started to be introduced in homes in major cities around the world. Electricity was also vital in the creation of the telegraph, which revolutionised communication in the Victorian era.
For some more bizarre used of electricity in the nineteenth century, look up the experiments of Nikola Tesla.
