| | Electricity |
| | Between 1750 and 1850 the great discoveries in the principles of electricity and magnetism were made by Coulomb, Gauss and Faraday. | | | Electricity has been with us ever since humans first appeared on Earth, in the form of lightening for example, and they created electricity by rubbing materials together. | | | It was found that electric current could split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases, a process called hydrolysis, that an electric current produces a magnetic field. |
