How was electricity invented ?
Today you cannot imagine of normal life without electricity. The
Majority of machines run with the help of electricity . Motor , rail
Engine and machines - all need electricity .
Do you know when and how electricity was invented ?
The word ' electric ' has originated from the Greek word ' electron'
Alessandra Volta invented electricity . He was the first man to
Make electric cell from which electric current was obtained . Soon
After the invention of the electric cell, people came to know that
Heat, light , chemical reaction and magnetic effects could be
Produced from the electric current.
Voltaic cell consisted of a zinc rod and a copper plate immersed in
Dilute sulphuric acid . Joining the wires connected to these rod
Would produced electricity .
The most revolutionary work in the field of electricity was done by
Michael Faraday in the year 1831. He demonstrated that , if a
Magnet be moved to and fro through a copper coil , electricity
Produced in the coil. This effect is know as Electro magnetic
Induction . Using this phenomenon electric generator was
Developed .
The first successful dynamo or generator was made in 1867 in
Germany . After this electric motor & transformer also developed .
By the end of the nineteenth century , production of electricity had
Already started in some parts of the world . In 1858 , electricity was
Produced in America by running turbine with the help of falling
Water . Subsequently , hydroelectric and thermal power station
Came into existence.
After the development of nuclear energy , solar energy converted
into electricity. Presently , scientist are engaged in developing new
techniques for conversion of Green energy , wireless wearable ,
Ion Thruster energy into electricity in order to solve energy
Crisis in the world .
