Electricity occurs naturally in lightning and static, which must have caused wonderment for many years.

It was known how to make batteries for many years, by pioneers such as Micheal Faraday, Voltair, Leclanche and Franklin.

But no one knew what to use it for.

There is even suspicion that a mysterious pot found in Baghdad, dating back thousands of years, could have been an early battery. known as the 'Baghdad battery'.

Electricity was known about for centuries, but no one knew what it was, it's relationship with magnetism, or what to use it for, until the 1800's.
