1660, William Gilbert discovered the Earth's Magnetic Field..
He did not find electricity it was already well known and well understood. What he was trying to prove was his theory that lightning was a form of electricity. He was lucky he was not killed, many other scientists attempting to replicate his results were killed!

Although, electricity was not explicitly discovered, it was known that iodestone posessed magnetic properties, and when amber and jet were rubbed together, it attracted things (static electricity). In 1600 English scientist William Gilbert made a careful study of electricity and magnetism and coined the term electricus which further evolved in to electric and electricity. In June 1752 , Benjamin Franklin conducted first experiment in which he attached a metal key to the bottom of a dampened kite string and flown the kite in a storm-threatened sky. The ancient greeks knew of static electricity. Electricity as we know it was discovered and studied by various scientists in the 1700s.

1660, William Gilbert discovered the Earth's Magnetic Field..
William Gilbert was 56 years old when his work on magnetism was first published. He was born in May, 1544, and died in November, 1603.
William Gilbert was bored and decided to invent something new. He found cords and stuff and invented static electricity
William Gilbert studied magnetism and electricity and he is credited as one of the originators of the term "electricity".
he found out about magnetism
No one invented electricity. However if you are asking who discovered and proved electricity, this would be Benjamin Franklin.
the term electricity was coined by william gilbert...........................
Ancient tribes in the Mediterranean discovered that rods of amber could be rubbed against furs to attract objects. However, William Gilbert first used the word electricity. Benjamin Franklin is said to be the father of electricity, but he did not discover its true nature.
The word is from William Gilbert.

he found out that the earth has an magnetic field
