Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)Hi, jeff! We're glad you enjoyed this WONDER! He was then able to build the first electric motor. And More…Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Astrophotos: Sun Halo, Crescent Moon and Earthshine I knew it was already there! :-)We appreciate you sharing your strong feelings about electricity with everyone in Wonderopolis today, Michael! :)Tomas made the light bulb and others ben made electricity well he didnt make it he just kind of found it i guessWe are glad you and your brother are WONDERing, Alena! We hope that you will be kind when you're online, because what you say matters and can hurt others.
Was the man conducting the electricity a scientist? Benjamin Franklin is believed to be the first to discover electricity, but his experiments only established the relationship between lightning and electricity. Can you clarify?We're not sure, Christopher. good site to knowlege of electric field
Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that some chemical reactions could also create electricity. I thought this was really cool. [8] Later, glass containers were employed. Using this discovery, he created a voltaic pile in 1800. It is really cool. He made frog muscles convulse by passing electricity through them.
A long time ago,a group of people were hurriedly crossing a stream. What about Thomas Edison? Does anyone know if Nicola Tesla have any contribution? Have a great day!Shame, shame. Thanks for being a GREAT Wonder Friend!
Benjamin franklin did not discover electricity he was proving a point that lightning was a form of electricity. only one "Wonder of the day" is correct The presence of charge gives rise to an electrostatic force: charges exert a force on each other, an effect that was known, though not understood, in antiquity. Great question! That's WONDERful, Wonder Friend! How long did Mars planetary dynamo take to turn off? In ancient India, more than 3000 years ago, another scientist, also a saint, Saint Agasthiyar wrote in his writings on how to build a battery. 8) And it was a man named Thomas Edison who discovered the next big milestone in the history of electricity. [8] Byzantine soldiers learned that Greek fire, a Byzantine invention of the previous century, could not only be thrown by flamethrowers at the enemy, but also in stone and ceramic jars. We hope you'll check out Electricity definitely has some great perks, lance! We encourage you to do some more WONDERing about it on your own! In 1831, Faraday found the solution. Then again… with enough stored charge if the iron rod moved down along it’s axis and made contact with the copper plate at the bottom, then you’d get a spark. I am using this for in-text referencing, is it possible to get the published date and last name of the publisher? I love you Wonderopolis! :-)Happy Wednesday, D and S! :-)It's AWESOME that you guys liked the ELECTRIFYING video for today's Wonder, Miss Kirsten’s Kindergarten GT Class! abrupt electric discharge from cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth accompanied by the emission of lighta ductile malleable reddish-brown corrosion-resistant diamagnetic metallic element; occurs in various minerals but is the only metal that occurs abundantly in large masses; used as an electrical and thermal conductorof or concerning the electricity accumulated by a charged object such as an insulatora silvery malleable metallic element that resists corrosion; used in many alloys and to coat other metals to prevent corrosion; obtained chiefly from cassiterite where it occurs as tin oxidesour-tasting liquid produced usually by oxidation of the alcohol in wine or cider and used as a condiment or food preservativetransmit or serve as the medium for transmission, as of sounds or imagesglaringly vivid and graphic; marked by sensationalisma mixture containing two or more metallic elements or metallic and nonmetallic elements usually fused together or dissolving into each other when molten Their texts describe the electrical fish as the Thunderer of the Nile and the protector of all fishes. electricity was actually discovered by thales of miletus. Hey! Wow that guy is awesome I learned who made electricity and now I'm going to tell my friends!
Hi Swan and Edison later set up a joint company to produce the first practical filament lamp, and Edison used his direct-current system (DC) to provide power to illuminate the first New York electric street lamps in September 1882.Later in the 1800’s and early 1900’s Serbian American engineer, inventor, and all around electrical wizard Nikola Tesla became an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity. What are some of the new facts you learned about electricity?Thanks for sharing, Jabber! We think it's FUN to WONDER that way, too!
It did, however, have to be discovered and understood. We use it for communication, entertainment, transport, etc. Electricity is definitely something to be thankful for!
