Thomas Edison also contributed to the development of electricity. He invented the world's first filament light-bulb, after years of practise and constant re-attempts. The light-bulb then revolutionised the world of electricity as we know it.

We use electrical objects in our lives constantly. Some examples include: The radio, air conditioners, heaters, fridges, ovens, freezers, hair dryer, dishwasher, television, blender, microwave, sewing machines, washing machines and the vacuum cleaner. Trying to find a house without any electrical appliances may be harder than you think!

Some time after Ben had discovered the use of electricity, it was a fairly new subject to those that were interested. However, a man called Michael Faraday invented the world's first electric motor. This motor was fairly simple and ran off of a source of power and created an electromagnetic spin. This motor was called Faraday's motor and it paved the path for the future of electronics.

Michael Faraday launched a torrent of innovation and discovery when he demonstrated the first electric motor. This video discusses this important early device, including a demonstration of a working model of Faraday's electromagnetic rotation device.

When electricity was first discovered, Benjamin Franklin decided it had a high potential for use with other objects, but first he had to decide how he could harness it. Over time, countless inventions have allowed us to harness, use and even control electricity to the benefit of us. This video shows how the first electric generator was made.

Huge thanks to the Royal Institution, Professor Frank James, and Katie Atmore for filming. For the Sixty Symbols version of this experiment click http://bit.ly/RGfLY5 Michael Faraday created the first electric generator in 1831 using a coil of wire and a permanent magnet. When the magnet was moved relative to the coil, current was induced in the coil.

Electricity has come a long way, changing basic things such as an icebox into something complex as an electrical fridge that can tell the time, heat and even change modes for different events. Inventions like this couldn't even be comprehended 200 years ago.

Since Benjamin Franklin's discovery of electricity, it has been majorly developed since. From light bulbs to electric powered cars, medical machines and drones. Electricity slowly developed as time went on until this day. It has become an everyday part of life for nearly everyone in the world. We wake up to an alarm clock, watch TV in the morning and listen to the radio in the car. It is now considered essential to most people.

Children explain how Ben Franklin discovered Electricity. It was actually discovered by accident, much like other much used inventions, such as plastic. Even though Ben Franklin "discovered" it as such, it has been improved by various other people along the way, improving how it works and how it is generated.

Electricity was first discovered by a great man called Ben Franklin in the 19th century. This happened while he was flying a kite in the middle of a storm at a very young age. From then on, he started studying electricity, as if it had "sparked" an interest in him, with his first invention being the lightning rod.
