Electricity wasn’t invented it is already occurred in the nature. It was just discovered by Benjamin Franklin. His experiments (famous kite experiment) helped in building the connection between the electricity and lightning. In his experiment with kite included a kite with the key tie to the end of kite, which is connected to the Leyden jar. When the lighting struck the kite, the electric current travel down the string through the key and into the Leyden jar. We wonder that “what is there in Leyden jar”. It is an old fashioned battery and consist of the glass jar, wrapped in, with lead foil lining. Going into the jar is a metal rod with a non-conductive cap to store the power inside the Leyden jar. Before this experiments around 600 BC the

Later Thomas Browne wrote several books to investigate the Gilbert’s work and used the word “electricity”
1752: Benjamin Franklin conducted his experiment with a kite, a key, and a storm to prove lightning and tiny electric sparks were same.
As I mentioned in previous, so many things were discovered around the electricity.
In 1800 Alessandro Volta made the voltaic pile (similar to electric battery) to produce a steady flow of electric current by using the chemical reactions. His great invention is that “he transmitted the electricity by linking positive and negatively charged connectors and driving voltage or electrical charge through them.
In 1831, Michael Faraday made a crude power generator (known as electric dynamo) to solve the problem of generating electric current in practical way. So it became feasible to use. He used the magnet in his invention.
In 1879, Thomas Edison and his team invented the incandescent filament light bulb. In previous the bulbs were invented but they light for few minutes. This incandescent bulb was the first bulb that lighten for many hours in practical. Later Edison used Direct Current system to provide the electricity for the street lights in New York in
