-
Robert Boyle proved that electric attraction and repulsion can happen in vacuum.
-
Stephen Gray discovered the difference between conductors and insulators.
-
Charles de Cisternay discovered that the two different types of charges could cancel each other out.
-
Pieter Musschenbroek developed the Capacitors while investigating electrostatic phenomena.
-
Benjamin Franklin determined that the two different types of charge should be calle Positive and Negative
-
Benjamin Franklin discovered that conventional current flows through a positive current, in a negative current the flow would be opposite.
-
Charle Coulomb made a series of experiments in two charged objects, in order to discover the relation between electric forces.
-
Charle Coulomb discovered that the separation relation was a force inversely proportional to r2 and including the product of the charges
-
Right hand rule: point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of conventional current flow: Your fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field lines. Was invented John Ambrose Fleming.
-
left hand rule: find out the direction of induced current when a force is applied (with the middle and first fingers swapped round). Was invented by John Ambrose Fleming.
-
Hans Christian Oersted discovered that magnetic fields are vectors fields that have influence on moving electric charges, magnetic material and electric currents.
-
Georg Simon Ohm invented the Ohm's law states that for a metal held at constant temperature, the current flowing through it will be proportional to the potential difference across it.
-
Georg Simon Ohm invented the second ohm’s law: V=IR. meaning that the potential difference across a conductor is equal to the product of the resistance and the current in the conductor.
-
Faraday discovered Inductors when he was trying to perform another experiment,
-
The current in one wire produces a magnetic field with which the current in the second wire experiences a force, called the magnetic force, that was invented by Michael Faraday.
-
Faraday discovered the concept of Electric Fields and its properties.
-
They begin on positive charges and end on negative charges.They never cross (at any given point there is only one value for the field).
-
Michael Faraday discovered arbitrarily electricity, the type of electricity that can appear in opposite polarities.
-
Michael Faraday proved that current and static electricity were differents behaviors of charge
-
Gustav Kirchhoff invented the first law: net current entering and leaving a junction is zero.
-
Gustav Kirchhoff invented the second law: in traversing any closed loop in a circuit the net electric potential difference must be zero.
-
William Bradford Shockley, Walter Houser Brattain, and John Bardeen developed the Transistors to be used in telephones.
-
Otis Frank Boykin developed the Resistors in a circuit, mostly for televisions.
