Electricity was not 'invented' : its characteristics and uses have been known about and developed over hundreds of years. Static electricity produced by rubbing objects against fur was known to the ancient Greeks, Phoenicians, Parthians and Mesopotamians. Greek philosophers discovered that when amber is rubbed against cloth, lightweight objects will stick to it. This is the basis of static electricity. When you touch something and get a shock, that is really static electricity moving through you.
Despite what you may have learned, Benjamin Franklin did not "invent" electricity. In fact, electricity did not begin when Benjamin Franklin flew his kite during a thunderstorm or when light bulbs were installed in houses all around the world.
The truth is that electricity has always been around because it naturally exists in the world. Lightning, for instance, is simply a flow of electrons between the ground and the clouds. Hence, electrical equipment like motors, light bulbs, and batteries aren't needed for electricity to exist. They are just creative inventions designed to harness and use electricity.
Over the centuries, there have been many discoveries made about electricity. We've all heard of famous people like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison, but there have been many other inventors throughout history that were each a part in the development of electricity.

Electricity was discovered long before 1831. Chemical batteries have been around since ancient Greece. One of the earliest scientists to begin to quantify electric charges was the French physicist Charles-Augustin Coulomb (1736-1806). His law for measuring the magnitude of electric charge is still a cornerstone in modern physics. Ampere and Ohm defined current and resistance in direct current and Nikola Tesla invented the AC generator in the late 19th century.

Electricity wasn't invented : its properties were discovered, examined and explained.
some time in the 1600, by Benjamin Franklin
No one invented electricity. However if you are asking who discovered and proved electricity, this would be Benjamin Franklin.
Ben Franklin, but he didn't "discover electricity". He proved that electricity was in the natural world.
First of all Thomas Edison did not discover electricity. He discovered the light bulb! Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity you dumb head, and that was in 1752. >:(
it was discovered in Philadelphia Pennsylvania in so told 1762
Benjamin Franklin did not discover electricity, but simply discovered that lightning was electricity.
Discovered by Ben then created
Albert Edison is the one who discovered electricity.
im not surei think it was in GreeceBenjamin Franklinthe electricity was discovered in Greece
Ben Franklin discovered electricity. Not Albert Einstein.
we have no light! when electricity is not discovered!
The word "electricity" is the direct object in the sentence "Who discovered electricity?" The direct object receives the action of the verb, which in this case entails what was being discovered.
Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity
what was electricity used for when it was dicovered
He was born not discovered, He's not electricity.
No one invented electricity. However if you are asking who discovered and proved electricity, this would be Benjamin Franklin.
I think Hans Christian Oersted discovered that electricity and magnetism are related.
Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. See on wikipedia about him.
