The Greeks first discovered static electricity about 2,000 years ago and used it to make compasses for navigating. There were some clay pot batteries discovered in Baghdad, Iraq; that date back about 2000 years also. They have not been able to figure out what the batteries were used for.
Washington DC saw its first demonstration of electric lights in 1872. The city was slow to adopt electricity. A few electric arc lamps were installed in 1882. In 1890, the rapidly expanding electric street railways demanded a source of power and electricity was finally brought to the city.
Although Edison invented the light bulb in 1879, electricity did not become widespread in US cities until the early twentieth century, and not until the 1930's or 40's in rural areas of the US.
When people wanted to use electricity on their houses.

Electricity first started to appear in homes in the 1890s. This was for those in wealthy or well to do homes. By the 1920s most other homes had it as well.
No, by the end of the 1880s, small electrical stations were provding electricity to a few city blocks in a number of U.S. cities.
It is electricity (or electrical energy) that we find is used in homes, and it is produced by the movement of electrons.
No. Water can be used in a hydroelectric dam to generate electricity, but this does not make us use more or less water in our homes.
The first light bulb was invented around the 1850's or so when Benjamin Franklin discovered how electricity worked. His work was continued with light bulbs.
Electricity first started to appear in homes in the 1890s. This was for those in wealthy or well to do homes. By the 1920s most other homes had it as well.
It is electricity, produced by the movement of electrons, that is a form of energy we use in homes.
Whether the electricity is generated by conventional power stations, or hydroelectric power generation, the electricity used in homes and businesses will still be the same, and used the same.
blah blah blah :o
as electricity for running thousands of homes
No, by the end of the 1880s, small electrical stations were provding electricity to a few city blocks in a number of U.S. cities.
geothermal energy is used to heat homes and provide electricity.
Yes, hydro electricity is the same as all electricity. It is called hydro because it is made from the power of water falling. But the electricity is used in homes and businesses for heating, lighting and running machinery.
They produce energy that can be used in homes to generate electricity
electricity, heating and cooking (i think)
Electricity and after that natural gas.
