The Greeks used the amber to study the concept of magnetism for the first time . They observed that it acquires a strange property of attracting tiny bits of papers,metal pieces etc. when rubbed with a piece of wool .this strange characteristic of it made the further discoveries possible.

That's not magnetism but static electricity, the charge being developed by rubbing the amber with the dry cloth. Amber is non-magnetic.

When did the Ancient Greeks discover electricity?
The Greeks discovered that if amber was rubbed it could produce sparks. They thought it was a special property of amber. The Greek word for amber was Elektron, hence the modern word.
What does amberase mean?
Amberase is an enzyme that can break down materials commonly found in amber, hence its name. It is used by scientists to study the DNA trapped in amber-encased organisms.
Where did the word electric come form and why?
The Greeks discovered (2000 years ago) that you could rub certain materials against amber and the amber would hold a charge. Their word for amber was elektron.
How did ancient Greeks study nature?

The Greeks studied charges using?
The Greeks studied charges using amber, which is a type of fossilized tree resin that can acquire a static electric charge when rubbed. This observation led to the development of early theories on electricity and magnetism in ancient Greece.
What is the year amber was discovered?
Amber gem was used by Palaeoliyhic man in Austria from 45000 -12000 B.C. The nomadic hunters of the Nesolithic age (12000-4000 B.C.) used amber to hunt animals. They carved phases of the moon, hunting seasons and the animals that they hunted on amber. The Neolithic man (4000-1900 B.C.) started using amber as decorative articles and jewels. The rich people of these societies usually owned amber jewelry and used to gift it to their friends and relatives. Later, towards the end of the eighth century B.C. the Greeks started using amber for inlay work in gold and ivory. Romans found use for amber only in the first century B.C to first century A.D, where they made rings and vessels out of amber.
Is amber used for jewelry?

What did the Greeks discover amber by?
The ancient Greeks discovered amber by observing its ability to attract lightweight objects, such as feathers and straw, when rubbed against fur or cloth. They referred to amber as "electron," which is derived from the Greek word "ēlektron." This phenomenon was one of the earliest recorded instances of static electricity, leading to further exploration of its properties and uses in jewelry and ornamentation. Amber was valued not only for its beauty but also for its intriguing physical characteristics.
The study of physics began with?
the early Greeks.
