Joseph Swan invented the first electric vacuum light bulb with a carbon fibre filament. About a year later, Thomas Eddison invented a similar bulb. Swan had already got a patent for the bulb though, and sued Eddison for the patent rights.
After that, the pair worked together and merged companies. Swan later improved the filament used in the bulbs, though Eddison continued to use an inferior filament for a while. Eddison's company was eventually to become the USA's General Electric.
The first electric light bulb however, as unpractical as it was, was invented by Humphry Davy in 1809.
What else can I help you with?
Which was invented first the light bulb or electricity?
electricity because a light bulb needs electricity
Did Isaac Newton invent electricity?
No person invented electricity.
How did Thomas Jefferson made a differences?
He invented electricity and the light bulb.
Which invented first electricity or bulb?
Electricity was discovered before the invention of the light bulb. The concept of electricity dates back to ancient times, while the development of the light bulb by Thomas Edison occurred in the late 19th century. The harnessing of electricity through various inventions eventually led to the creation of the light bulb.
Who invented electrcity and lightbulbs?
No one invented electricity; it's a natural phenomenon. But Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. The inspiration was the sun and light and dark.
Can a bulb light if electricity doesn't get to the bulb?
No, a light bulb will not light up if electricity does not reach it. Electricity is required to flow through the filament in the bulb to generate light. If there is no electrical current, the bulb will not illuminate.
Did Benjamin Fraklin invented the light bulb?
No, Benjamin Franklin did not invent the light bulb. The light bulb was actually invented by Thomas Edison in the 19th century. Benjamin Franklin is known for his contributions to electricity and the invention of the lightning rod.
Is electricity invented first or light invented first?
Firstly, Light was not "invented." It's merely existed since the beginning of time. The light from the sun is the perfect example. It wasn't invented, yet it gives off light. Anyways, electricity wasn't invented either. It's also a natural product of nature, lightning being a good example. Before light bulbs were invented, candles were commonly used. Light bulbs required electricity to work. So if you're referring to "which came first, the light bulb or the 'invention' of electricity?" question, then it would really be a matter of looking back in your history book. It was in the 1750's that Ben Franklin began studying electricity, and proved that lightning is indeed a form of electricity. In 1879, Thomas Edison made the first working light bulb, running off of electricity of course. So you can see it was over 100 years after the study of electricity itself that the light bulb was invented, thus "inventing" light.
Who invente of electricity?
Thomas Edison invented electricity. I believe his first electrical invention was the light bulb. Hope this helps.....
What was Benjamin Franklin's contribution?
He basically invented electricity, and he invented the light bulb. If it weren't for him we would still be using candles.
Does a light still you electricity if there is no bulb?
No, a light fixture does not consume electricity if there is no bulb in it. The bulb is what generates light when electricity passes through it, so without a bulb, there is no circuit to complete and no electricity is being used.
Did Thomas Edison try his best when he invented the electricity and light bulb?
yes he tryed his best
