Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity by performing the kite experiment. Formula: Power= Electric potential x Current
-
Benjamin Franklin was performing an experiment, in which he was able to collect opposite and negative charges, leading to the discovery of the conventional current which flows from positive to negative
-
Charles-Augustin de Coulomb discovered the formula to discover the amount of force between two stationary bodies. Formula: F=k(q1q2/r2)
-
John Ambrose Fleming developed the left-hand rule that could relate motion, magnetic field, and current,
-
John Ambrose Fleming invented the right-hand rule that related current with the magnetic field lines. It was invented in the 19th century
-
Hans Christian Oersted discovered the magnetic field when he was performing another experiment and realized that electric current forms a magnetic field
-
Hans Christian Oersted discovered that the magnetic field exerts force into the wire which has a current Formula: F = IL x B
-
Georg Simon Ohm invented the ohm first law, which states that the current in a circuit is directionally proportional to the voltage of the circuit Formula: V = IR
-
Georg Simon Ohm discovered Second Ohm's Law, which stated that the resistance depends on the size of the conductor
-
Georg Simon Ohm discovered that some materials had certain difficulties in passing the electricity, he described this phenomenon as resistance
-
Michael Faraday proved the behaviors of charges and current, this gave a new perspective into the electric fields. Formula:E=F/Q
-
Michael Faraday discovered inductors when was performing another experiment. When he was building a galvanometer
-
Gustav Kirchhoff's law said that the current in a junction is equal to the sum of currents following out of the junction Formula: I1 = I2 + I3
-
Gustav Kirchhoff second law said that the voltage drops when it passes across components Formula: emf = Ir + IR1 + IR2 = 0
