The ancients were aware of shocks from electric fish. However the first formal study and the coining of the name "electricity" (from the Greek word for amber) was made by the English scientist William Gilbert in 1600.
The first battery was made by the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta in 1800.
The theoretical/mathematical understanding of the phenomena of electricity and magnetism (and light) was provided by the Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell in 1861.
