No one really "invented" electricity, but you can ask who discovered it.

600 B.C. Thales of Miletus writes about amber becoming charged by rubbing - he was describing what we now call static electricity.

1600 A.C. English scientist, William Gilbert first coined the term "electricity" from the Greek word for amber. Gilbert wrote about the electrification of many substances in his "De magnete, magneticisique corporibus". He also first used the terms electric force, magnetic pole, and electric attraction.

1660 A.C. Otto von Guericke invented a machine that produced static electricity.

1747 A.C. Benjamin Franklin experiments with static charges in the air and theorized about the existence of an electrical fluid that could be composed of particles. William Watson discharged a Leyden jar through a circuit, that began the comprehension of current and circuit. Henry Cavendish started measuring the conductivity of different materials

1752 A.C. Benjamin Franklin invented the lightening rod - he demonstrated lightning was electricity.

1786 A.C. Italian physician, Luigi Galvani demonstrated what we now understand to be the electrical basis of nerve impulses when he made frog muscles twitch by jolting them with a spark from an electrostatic machine.

1821 A.C First electric motor (Faraday).

There is no single inventor of electricity. Infact, Electricity is something which is been evident to be researched and used in some way during all ages.


In the year 1600, English physician William Gilbert conned the term electric, from the Greek elektron, to identify the force that certain substances exert when rubbed against each other. In the year 1600, English physician William Gilbert conned the term electric, from the Greek elektron, to identify the force that certain substances exert when rubbed against each other.

Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity with the key on the kite in a thunderstorm. Thomas Edison used it to invent the light bulb.
Benjamin Franklin is the man who invented the electric.

No one invented it. It is natural to the environment.
Electricity is not an invention but one of the fundamental forces in nature.
No one actually created it, many scientists combined their ideas to create electricity in the 1700's. Some people include, Benjamin Franklin, (proved that lightning is electricity), and Thomas Edison, (invented the light bulb).
