It is hard to say when electricity was 'First' used. It has been known about by scientists and philosophers for a long time, but it's use was restricted to experimentation only, mostly created by batteries, or static generators.

The first public supply of electricity started in January 1882, in London England.

It used an Edison generator, powered by a steam engine using a Babcock & Wilcox boiler.

Edison, later the same year, (September) set up another power supply in New York.

These early electrical supplies were DC, as opposed to the AC system we have today.

Kinds of elictricity?

There are two main types of electricity: direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). DC flows in one direction and is commonly used in batteries and electronics. AC changes direction periodically and is used in homes and businesses for powering appliances and lighting.


What is nitrogens ability to conduct elictricity?

Nitrogen is a poor conductor of electricity because it is a nonmetal with a full valence shell of electrons, making it difficult for electrons to move freely through the material. Therefore, nitrogen gas is an insulator and does not readily conduct electricity.
