                                  Early history of electricity

History shows us that at least 2500 year ago, or so, the Greeks were already familiar with the strange force(as is seemed to them) which is known today as electricity. Generally speaking, three phenomena made up all of man’s knowledge of electrical effects. The first phenomenon under consideration was the familiar lighting flash – a dangerous power, as it seemed to them, which could both kill people and burn or destroy their houses. The second manifestation of electricity  he was more or less familiar with was the following: he sometimes found in the earth a strange yellow stone which looked like glass. On being rubbed , that strange yellow stone, that is to say amber, obtained the ability of attracting light objects of a small size. The third was connected with the so-called electric fish which possessed the property of giving more or less strong electric shocks which could be obtained by a person coming into contact with the electric fish. Nobody knew that the above phenomena were due to electricity. People could neither understand their observations nor find any practical applications for them.

As a matter of fact, all of man’s knowledge in the field of electricity has been obtained during the last 370 years, or so. Needless to say, it took a long time before scientists learned how to make use of electricity. In effect , most of the electrically operated devices, such as the electric lamp, the refrigerator, the tram, the lift, the radio, and so on, are less than one hundred years old.
