the lil bulb
Electricity was discovered not invented. Without it our lives would be more difficult though.
There are many key words to understand when discussing electricity. Electricity flows in a current. The unit of power of electricity is a watt which refers to the rate of work done. A volt is force at which electricity moves from its origin through a conductor and to the place of use.
Transmission lines.
No, has to be life-force. If vampires could just feed off of electricity there would be Godzilla sized vampires all over the place.

to generate electricity.
In 1888 the town of Reefton became the first place in New Zealand (and first in the Southern Hemisphere) to be lit with electricity. Wellington became the first city to have electricity in 1889. Reefton's electricity only arrived 6 years after it was installed in Kimberley, South Africa on 1 September 1882, making it the first place in the Southern Hemisphere to get electric lighting.
Yes there is, there are several places have been named after Edison, most notably the town of Edison, New Jersey.
Yes, it is.
Thomas Edison was supplying electricity in New York with direct current. Those systems were bad causing fires and other hazards like electrocution in homes. When Nikola Tesla arrived to New York, he began working for Thomas Edison. The first task assigned to him was fixing his direct current motor a a prize of $50,000. When he finished that, Edison didn't kept his world so Tesla walked out the place never to return. Later in life, his alternate current beat Edison's direct current system and it was chosen for the 1893 fair. Edison in envy put in court that Tesla couldn't use his bulbs. So the Westinghouse co. made the bulbs for the fair.
Other than the Tesla Coil, his most famous invention, he is also credited for inventing AC electricity, which is your every day wall-socket (his rival was Thomas Edison, who invented DC electricity, hence the band name AC/DC). Even though Gugliamo Marconi is given credit for inventing the radio, it was Tesla that introduced it in the first place
No, although Edison was apparently often jealous of Tesla, I don't believe he had anything to do with this. Tesla's first experiment with transmitting electricity through the ground caused a 130 foot lightning bolt, and then set the local generator on fire. His attempt at building a full scale version ran out of funding, and he could not get more because he had lied about its purpose in the first place, claiming it was for communication.
