Thomas Edison studied electricity, in short, because it was a necessity during his time period. Many scientist studied electricity in efforts to invent a light source like the light bulb, but they failed at their attempt. Thomas Edison finally invented the first incandescent light and demonstrated if publically for the first time in 1879.


Why did Thomas Edison started a fire on the barn?

You're mixing a few stories, which (unfortunately) Edison was also known to do. Thus, it is difficult to sort out which stories of Edison's early life were true, which were false, and which were exaggerations. Anyway, the two stories you are probably remembering are from Edison's fierce determination to study chemistry while working as a teenager. In the first story, Edison claimed that his chemicals started a fire in a train's boxcar, resulting in the train conductor slapping him on the side of his head while throwing him off the train*. In the second story, Edison spilled some battery acid while working as a telegraph operator. The acid dripped through the floor and onto the desk of his boss in the floor below -- resulting in Edison getting fired. I reiterate that it is difficult to discern the truth in either of these stories, as Edison was never consistent in relating his early life. * This was the FIRST story Edison told about how he lost most of his hearing. He later said a conductor grabbed him by his ears while Edison ran to get on a moving train. As both Thomas' father and brother were also quite hard of hearing, it is more likely that all of them lost hearing due to scarlet fever.
