Electrical History of the World

in #science7 years ago (edited)

The earliest history of the invention of electricity was by a Greek scholar named "Thales". He suggests the phenomenon of amber stone which when rubbed will be able to attract feathers as an electrical phenomenon.

After many years since the idea of Thales was put forward, new opinions and new theories about electricity emerged. As William Gilbert investigated and put forward, Joseph Priestley, Charles De Coulomb, Ampere Michael Farraday, Oersted, and others.

Information on the history of the electric inventors is presented in panel form and supported by audio-visual devices presenting copies of experiments that scientists have done.

Many people think "Benjamin Franklin" invented the famous electricity with a kite experiment in 1752. But electricity is not found at once. Initially, electricity is associated with light. People want a cheap and safe way to light their homes, and scientists think electricity might be a way.

A British scientist, "Michael Faraday" was the first to realize that an electric current can be generated by passing a magnet through a copper wire. It was an amazing discovery. Almost all the electricity we use today is made with magnets and coils of copper wire in the power plant giant.

The world keeps turning with the times, as well as in the world of electricity. "Thomas Edison" in 1879, focused on creating a lamplight, which would last long before it burned. The problem is finding a strong material for filaments, a small wire inside a bulb that conducts electricity.

Later in 1895, George Westinghouse opened its first major power plant in Niagara Falls using alternating current. While Edison DC (direct current) plants can only transport electricity within a mile of the Pearl Street Power Station, Niagara. The fall plant is capable of carrying more than 200 miles of electricity, as quoted from the "gudang-sejarah.blogspot.com"
