There were several people who did important research which helped us to understand the phenomenon of electricity; Volta, Galvani, and Benjamin Franklin are among the most important, and I would say that they should jointly be considered the discoverers of electricity.
1660, William Gilbert discovered the Earth's Magnetic Field..
In 1831 Faraday created a generator. and the field took off when Hertz demonstrated that light and electricity was, as James Maxwell claimed, the SAME!
Discovered by Ben then created
im not surei think it was in GreeceBenjamin Franklinthe electricity was discovered in Greece
1660, William Gilbert discovered the Earth's Magnetic Field..
Hans Christian Oersted discovered the magnetic field of electric current in 1820. He observed that a compass needle was deflected when placed near a wire carrying an electric current, showing a relationship between electricity and magnetism.
Benjamin Franklin did not discover electricity. He performed many experiments with electricity, but saying that he "discovered" it is like saying that Charles Lindbergh discovered the airplane. Bad analogy. An airplane is man-made. Electricity is a natural phenomenon which, like the magnetic field or atomic structure, can be discovered. For a man-made object on the other hand, the proper verb would be "invent" - Lindberg of course did not invent the airplane but someone did. No one "invented" electricity, but the phenomenon was unrecognized until someone, or a series of persons, discovered its existence.
The word "electricity" is the direct object in the sentence "Who discovered electricity?" The direct object receives the action of the verb, which in this case entails what was being discovered.
we have no light! when electricity is not discovered!
Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity
Oersted discovered that an electric current produces a magnetic field, that the magnetic field direction is perpendicular to the current flow, and that the strength of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current flowing through the conductor.
