Electricity is a force of nature and has been around us since the creation of universe. Since ancient times, people have come across various instances of electricity being manifested in nature. The earliest mention of electric phenomena is found in ancient Egyptian texts from about 2750 BC (roughly 4750 years ago). These texts talk about electric fish that were known as ‘Thunders of the Nile’ and defenders of other fish. So the earliest discovery of electricity in recorded history was in the form of bio-electricity! The mention of this electric fish like catfish has been found in Greek, Roman and Arabic chronicles. In fact in some instances, there is even a mention of electrical shocks from these fish being used as a cure for headaches. Many ancient civilizations have reported the attractive effect that amber has on light objects like feathers when rubbed against cat fur. The magnetic effect of minerals like magnetite was known to the ancient Greeks. Around 600 BC, a Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus, investigated the static electric effect of amber and wrongly classified it as a magnetic effect arising out of friction. However, later in modern times, electricity and magnetism were proved to be the two manifestations of a single force of electromagnetism. After that, in 1600 AD, an Englishman named William Gilbert studied the phenomena of electricity and magnetism and distinguished between the electric effect of amber and magnetic effect of lodestone. He gave the name ‘electricus’ (Latin) to the phenomenon of attraction showed by amber. Not surprisingly, it was derived from the ancient Greek word for amber, which was ‘elektron’. This gave rise to the modern word of electricity which first in print in the book Pseudodoxia Epidemica written by Sir Thomas Brown in 1646. In the 18th century, Franklin used the Leyden jar to establish that lightning is simply an electrical discharge, Charles Coulomb demonstrated that the force between charges is inversely related to the square of the distance between the Luigi Galvani performed experiments revealing that electricity is present in every animal, and Alessandro Volta developed the forerunner of the electric battery. Later, in the 19th century Pavel Yablochkov developed a system of electric illumination, based on single-phased alternating current, Ohm introduced an important relationship between potential, current, and resistance which we now refer to as , Michael Faraday demonstrated his theory of electromagnetic induction, Maxwell developed the electromagnetic theory of light, which among other things , revealed that electromagnetic waves travel through air at the of light. By the end of the 1800s, a significant number of the fundamental equations, laws, and relationships had been established, various fields of study, including electronics, power generation, and calculating equipment, started to develop in earnest. Thus we see that the history of electricity runs right from the period before Christ up to the computer age today. We owe to a certain extent, our ‘electrical lives’ to those who discovered electricity. Thanks to them, the lightning of the skies was put to good use on Earth, in the form of this brilliant energy we can’t imagine living without – electricity.
