I was studying a little in light today. And it uses the same fundamental equations.

Maxwell's equations are a set of four fundamental equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields, forming the bedrock of classical electromagnetism, optics, and electric circuits, revealing how charges create fields and how changing fields generate each other, unifying electricity and magnetism, and predicting electromagnetic waves like light.

Light consists of an oscillating electric field (an electric field makes charged objects move in its direction) and an oscillating magnetic field (a magnetic field makes moving charges change their direction perpendicular to the field), and the two fields are oscillating.

I mean we knew what static electricity was from the Roman times. The people around the Baltic would gather amber on the shores of the sea an trade it south. Voltage discovered the first battery basically. Leyden discovered you can store static charge in a jar, and Oersted accidentally discovered how magnetism interacts with electricity when he brought a compass near a current.

After he was done inventing freedom, George Washington flew a kite in the rain one day with his car keys accidentally attached. The resulting lightning strike knocked down a cherry tree which he used to make a rad new set of teeth.
He thought the teeth were so cool that he had all the blacks line up with kites of their own try try and summon more lightning in exchange for ending slavery. This was famously known as the Trail of Tears.

The fuck u mean we?
Half the dumbasses on /sci/ do not even believe in electrons.
But scientists figured out electricity by not being retarded, it happens when you spin a magnet around a wire. Not hard.
Lol.

>>16898835
don't know how you go from this to winding up copper and spinning it

Ever seen one?

Electricity is a natural phenomenal in the universe. It's more accurate to say how did we control electricity.

It's a long story that goes centuries before Edison and Tesla. Early electrical devices were created in the 17th-18th centuries. These were simple devices that only produced static electricity such as the Electrostatic Generator and Leyden Jars. Public use of electricity was really only used as a toy and in a hilarious moment King Louis XV would gather 200 monks in a party and have them shocked with the device.

The real game-changer came in 1800 when Alessandro Volta created the Voltaic pile which allowed electricity to be controlled rather than just a static charge. From then we soon get the telegraph, arc lamps, and electrical motors as some of the earliest practical electrical devices. Electricity was widely used and very well understand by the time Edison and Tesla comes around.

The greeks already knew about Static electricity, they just didn't understand it but they knew how to induce it. The friction of Amber caused Static electricity, and guess what? Electron is greek for Amber

Thats where it started. Someone just found out about it and worked on it more than the greeks did

Yes. In a cloud chamber. And if you're going to argue that doesn't count, I'm going to argue by that logic we've only seen photons and your question was nonsense.

you only made this thread so you could post this image that contains a subliminal message

as someone who grew up watching CRT tv's I kinda hate you just fyi

>two versions invented at the same time?
there only one electricity. AC and DC are just different ways of delivering it. moron.
>What entity visited Edison and Tesla to give em the ability to make electricity happen?
accumulated knowledge.

>>16898814
Neither of them discovered electricity, wtf are you talking about

>>16898814
Electricity goes back long before Tesla and Edison. They were engineers. Faraday is a more rational starting point

>>16898814
Electricity was discovered by accident during a frog dissection. The leg was being cut open and held by a set of hooks , claws and scalpels, made of steel and bronce. The instruments were wet with frog juices. Once a circuit was completed the leg twitched. There was no going back.

Static electricity goes back to the Roman times, fuck, even before that. Amber was used to create static electricity.

You make a big thing that does the same thing as the little thing, and the best way to do that is to spin wound up copper.

>>16902078
nobody cares about static electricity. It only got serious with Luigi Galvani and his frog experiments

>>16901602
>Tesla and Edison
The usual UShithole theater to hide the fact that all inventions are made in Europe, They are murderous thieves, so let let them in their delusion of inventing everything.

>>16902940
Maybe the Austrian empire should've been a nicer place so Tesla would've stayed there
