How did humans figure out about electricity?

Answer 1

Greek scientist-philosophers discovered static electricity after rubbing things like amber, silk and other materials against each other, then observing that there was a difference between the actions of the materials when placed near each other.

Answer 2

Benjamin Franklin, a founding father, discovered electricity during a thunderstorm in 1752. Earlier, in Ancient Greek, a man found that rubbing fur on amber caused an attraction. Since then there were many electric-related inventions.

Answer 3

Humans have known about electricity for thousands of years, through experiences with static electricity from phenomena like lightning or electric fish. The systematic study and understanding of electricity began in the 18th century with pioneers like Benjamin Franklin, Alessandro Volta, and Michael Faraday conducting experiments to unravel its mysteries. This led to the development of theories and applications that have revolutionized the world.
