Theme. HISTORY OF ELECTRICITY

1. Objective.
The objective of this project is to analyze the history of electricity as it was discovered,
to introduce students to the beginning of electricity.
2. Introduction
This project is about how the word "electric" or "electricity" appeared. Its discovery is
attributed to the Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus, who saw that after rubbing a
small piece of amber energetically, it acquired the property of attracting small particles.
3. Body
 Body 1.
Ancient writers described
Ancient writers described the sensation of touching these fish as a numbing effect,
which was caused by the electrical discharges emitted by these fish and electric rays.
These facts make up the beginning of what we know as the history of electricity.

 Body 2.
Electricity and magnetism
Electricity and magnetism have always been studied as two totally separate things, until
that these two phenomena came together in the formulation of Maxwell's equations,
which fully described electromagnetic phenomena.

 Body 3.
The massive generation
The massive generation of electricity began when, electric lighting for streets and
houses became widespread. Thanks to its great advantages and its growing applications,
electricity was one of the fundamental engines in the Second Industrial Revolution.

4. Conclusion
Electrical energy is of great importance in the development of our society, allowing to
improve their living conditions, giving light to the world.
5. Recommendation
 It is recommended to take care, save and value electrical energy.
 It is important useful to know the evolution of electrical energy.
