electricity was never invented. it has always been there. it is said that Benjamin Franklin discoved electricity. if he didnt dicover it there would be no electronics although some1 else would probably discover it

AnswerElectricity was identified as synonymous with lightning by Franklin, who did several experiments with it. Further, Franklin did not "invent" it; no one did. It was a known energy force quite awhile before his experiments.

Electricity itself--the motion of electrons--is an inherent property of every material in the universe. Without it, the universe as we know it would not exist.

Also, we wouldn't have all those awesome Video Games, TV, and computer. :(:(:(

When was electricity created?

Although, electricity was not explicitly discovered, it was known that iodestone posessed magnetic properties, and when amber and jet were rubbed together, it attracted things (static electricity). In 1600 English scientist William Gilbert made a careful study of electricity and magnetism and coined the term electricus which further evolved in to electric and electricity. In June 1752 , Benjamin Franklin conducted first experiment in which he attached a metal key to the bottom of a dampened kite string and flown the kite in a storm-threatened sky. The ancient greeks knew of static electricity. Electricity as we know it was discovered and studied by various scientists in the 1700s.

if there wasn't then you wouldn't be on the computer or tv right now, or on anything electricalOh, the world would be a different place.

If you use a 277v water heater in 110 household?

That can NOT be done. You apparently don't understand the basics of electricity. I can't imagine why anyone would want to use something totally different from the system.

How different would the world be if America was never discovered?

Well, if America was never discovered, the world would be much "slower". The technology wouldn't be so good. There won't be any American Idol and stuff like that. Maybe it would take us a longer time to actually invent the lightbulb. (Thomas Alva Edison was an American scientist in case you didn't know...) Our world map would not be complete... It's so hard to imagine how it would be like if America wasn't discovered....


What is the name of the person who discovered electricity?

What is Benjamin Franklin use to discover electricity?

Benjamin Franklin did not discover electricity. He performed many experiments with electricity, but saying that he "discovered" it is like saying that Charles Lindbergh discovered the airplane. Bad analogy. An airplane is man-made. Electricity is a natural phenomenon which, like the magnetic field or atomic structure, can be discovered. For a man-made object on the other hand, the proper verb would be "invent" - Lindberg of course did not invent the airplane but someone did. No one "invented" electricity, but the phenomenon was unrecognized until someone, or a series of persons, discovered its existence.
