Dr. William Gilbert studies the reaction of
amber and magnets, first recording the
term “electric” in a report on the theory
of magnetism.
It is important because it is the first time uset the term electricity. -
Scotsman James Watt invents the steam
condensing engine, which proves crucial to
large-scale generation of electricity.
It is important because is crucial to large-scale generation of electricity. -
Italian physics professor Allesandro Volta shows that when moisture comes between two different metals, electricity is created. This leads him to develop the first battery. He later invents the electric condenser.
It is important because it is essential in day to day. -
American painter Samuel Morse and British physicists Charles Wheatstone and William Cooke independently patent electromagnetic telegraphs.
It is important because it is the first telecommunications system. -
English physicist Michael Faraday succeeds in building the first electric motor. He discovers when a magnet is moved within a coil of copper wire a small electric current flows through the wire.
It is important because electric motors make are operated much thing. -
Moses Farmer lights his house in Salem, Massachusetts, by electric lamps that contain a glowing platinum wire. The current is supplied by batteries.
I think it is important because it's the first time put lights in a house, I now is in all homes. -
Nikola Tesla, a Serbian electrical engineer who had immigrated to the United States and was working with Edison, introduces the alternating current generator, allowing electricity to be distributed longer distances than the two miles possible with direct current generators.
It is important because alternating current generator allowing electricity to be distributed longer dista -
The of large-scale power distribution begins when water flowing over Niagara Falls is diverted through a pair of high-speed turbines. American inventor and industrialist George Westinghouse.
I think it is important because it is the first source of clean energy that is discovered. -
Italian engineer Guglielmo Marconi harnesses electric waves in the air to produce the first practical radio signaling system.
I think it is important because is a system types discovered a data transport by air. -
A nuclear reactor built at Arco, Idaho, powers a generator, producing the first electricity generated by atomic energy.
It is important because it is the way in which more energy is achieved.
