It wasn't invented. It was discovered. There is an enormous difference you dumb people! If you think Ben Franklin invented electricity, then you must think he invented lightning. Which is pretty dumb, right? All you need to know is that Ben Franklin discovered that electricity is drawn to metal and that Thomas Edison merely discovered what you could burn for an incredibly long period of time in a vacuum tube, which happened to be cardboard. His invention was later adapted to be put into modern day homes where the lighting of this could be controlled by the flick of a switch.

How old was Albert Einstein when he invented electricity?

No one invented electricity, as it is a source of power, not a machine or idea.

Buy a book on physics, one that is very good is an idiot's guide to physics, it will explain slot of what Einstein did, like relativity.
