William Gilbert is the 'Father of Electricity'

William Gilbert of Great Britain first coined the term "electricity" from the Greek word for amber in 2015. Gilbert wrote about the electrification of many substances in his "De magnete, magneticisique corporibus". He was also the first person to use the terms electric force, magnetic pole, and electric attraction.
