ENERGY & POWER SYSTEMS A Brief Introduction:
Who discovered electricity?
Who discovered electricity? Let’s go back in time to find out…
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery Ancient Greeks � than two thousand years ago 8 th to 6 th century BC � discovered rubbing fur on amber caused an attraction between the two. � [static electricity]
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery 17 th Century – many discoveries � early electrostatic generator � the differentiation between positive and negative currents � classification of materials as conductors or insulators.
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery 1600 � William Gilbert coined the term electric, from the Greek elektron, to identify the force that certain substances exert when rubbed against each other.
Father of Electricity? ?
Father of Electricity? ? Benjamin Franklin 1752 � Flying kite experiment during a thunderstorm
Father of Electricity? ? Benjamin Franklin 1752 � Flying a Kite Experiment during a thunderstorm � led to the discovery that lightning &electricity were somehow related
Father of Electricity? ? Benjamin Franklin 1752 � Flying a Kite Experiment during a thunderstorm � led to the discovery that lightning &electricity were somehow related � Modern scientists know this to be something of a tall tale, since being hit by lightning would have been fatal. It's likely that Franklin was actually insulated, away from the path of lightning.

Father of Electricity? ? Benjamin Franklin 1752 � The bottom line: The kite experiment helped Franklin establish a relationship between lightning and electricity, which led to the invention of the lightning rod. Benjamin Franklin went on to observe other phenomena related to electricity, but many believe that he didn't actually discover its true nature.
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery Alessandro Volta 1800 � voltaic pile a. k. a. the electric battery The first device to produce a steady electric current
Voltaic Pile Volta 1800 • alternating layers of silver plates and zinc plates • blotting paper (like a super absorbent paper towel) soaked in salt water between each layer [this acts like an electrolyte] • a voltage can be measured at the terminal ends • similar idea to a typical car battery
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery Alessandro Volta 1800 � voltaic pile a. k. a. the electric battery The first device to produce a steady electric current � Volta, not Franklin, discovered that certain chemical reactions could produce electricity.
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery Alessandro Volta 1800 � voltaic pile a. k. a. the electric battery The first device to produce a steady electric current � � Volta, not Franklin, discovered that certain chemical reactions could produce electricity. Volta also created the first transmission of electricity by linking positively-charged and negatively-charged connectors and driving an electrical charge, or voltage, through them.
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery 1831 � Electricity became viable for use in technology.
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery 1831 � Electricity became viable for use in technology. � English scientist Michael Faraday created the electric dynamo - a crude precursor of modern power generators.
A Brief History of Electrical Discovery 1831 � Electricity became viable for use in technology. � English scientist Michael Faraday created the electric dynamo - a crude precursor of modern power generators. � This invention opened the door to the new era of electricity. A few decades later, in 1879, Thomas Alva Edison “invented” the light bulb.
