He discovered thet when he rubbed amber with a piece of wool or fur,the amber attracted straw and feathers]]> 2021-06-07 09:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589500507 WILLIAM GILBERT He studied the properties of magnets and he discovered the laws of attraction and repulsion between amber and magnets.He was the first person to use the world “electric”.He discovered that the Earth is a giant magnet catalinanunezgonzalez https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589504040 2021-06-07 09:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589504040 catalinanunezgonzalez https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589507387 OTTO VON GUERICKE
Guericke invented the first electric generator wich produced static electricity.The machine had a globe and when he rubbed it,it produced an electric spark]]> 2021-06-07 09:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589507387 catalinanunezgonzalez https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589511423 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Franklin proved that lightning is a form of electricity,He tied an iron rod to the silk string of a kite.At the end of the string he put a key.During a thunderstorm,lighting travelled down the string and charged the key]]> 2021-06-07 09:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589511423 catalinanunezgonzalez https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589518900 ALESSANDRO VOLTA
Volta built the first battery,This produced the first continous flow of electricity.The invention of the battery encoraged other scientists to investigate practical uses for electricity ]]> 2021-06-07 09:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589518900 Nikola Tesla catalinanunezgonzalez https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589520047 He introduced the alternating current generator which produced the first long distance distribution of electricity.We still use the electrical system Tesla developed today.]]> 2021-06-07 09:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1589520047 Hans Christian Oersted catalinanunezgonzalez https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1595398490 Oersted discovered electromagnetism.He observed thet the needle of a compass moved when it was near an electric current ]]> 2021-06-09 10:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1595398490 Thomas Alva Edison catalinanunezgonzalez https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1595400048 Edison and Joseph Swan developed the first incandescent light bulb]]> 2021-06-09 10:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1595400048 Michael Faraday catalinanunezgonzalez https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1595401696 -He built the first electric motor.He discovered that moving a magnet inside a coil of cooper wire produced a small electric current throught the wire.]]> 2021-06-09 10:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/catalinanunezgonzalez/ou1goe40zhsdfn15/wish/1595401696
