Who was the person who invented electricity?

Nobody invented electricity - it is a naturally occuring phenomenon (for example - lightning) that has been around as long as Earth. Benjamin Franklin is often credited with discovering the properties of electricity (although this is probably a myth), and Thomas Edison invented the electric light.

Thomas Edison - would test over and over and over...and find 100 things that did not work.....think of the light bulb..and I think you will see the light!.....along with  about a thousand other things called inventions!

My hero is Thomas Alwa Edison.Because he has done many things for a better world.Electric blub, Gramophone,film projector and sound recording device are some of his great inventions done for the mankind.

Augustine Fresnel invented the Fresnel lens. (used in lighthouse)\n\nspotlight or searchlight, In 1892 such apparatus was used along the English Channel ( I was thinking it goes back to the ancient Greeks)\n...\nIn 1916 Edison invented a portable electric apparatus powered by storage batteries. ... The electric arc was generally employed after the American inventor E. A. Sperry introduced (1915) his high-intensity arc lamp based on principles that still predominate in modern searchlight equipment.

The DC generator and motor were indeed invented by Michael Faraday.  The 3-phase AC generator and motor, which are the basis of all large-scale generation and industrial production today, were invented by the greatest electrical engineer the world has ever known - Nikola Tesla.  Just as importantly, three-phase power was brought to market by George Westinghouse.\nThomas Edison gets a lot of credit for electrical work, but he wasn't nearly as great an inventor as Tesla.

I think you're confusing Thomas Jefferson with Benjamin Franklin.\n\nAnd he didn't "make" electricity, per sey, but there were significant events which prompted his interests in researching and attempting to reproduce electricity in a controlled fashion.\n\nThe main two are lightning bolts and static shock.  While technically, these are two aspects of friction and only differ in magnitude, he considered them separate entities as one was generated by air (gaseous material) and the other by tangible objects (solid material).  The third influence in his research and discovery stems back to when he was stung by a jellyfish in his youth and pondered how so simple a creature could harness such a perplexing force.

william gilbert\n\nWilliam Gilbert first coined the term "electricity" from the Greek word for amber. Gilbert wrote about the electrification of many substances in his "De magnete, magneticisique corporibus". He was also the first person to use the terms electric force, magnetic pole, and electric attraction.

The electron as a unit of charge in electrochemistry was posited by G. Johnstone Stoney in 1874, who also coined usage of "electron" in 1894. During the late 1890s a number of physicists posited that electricity could be conceived of as being made of discrete units, which were given a variety of names, but their reality had not been confirmed in a compelling way.\n\nThe discovery that the electron was a subatomic particle was made in 1897 by J.J. Thomson at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, while he was studying "cathode rays". Influenced by the work of James Clerk Maxwell, and the discovery of the X-ray, he deduced that cathode rays existed and were negatively charged "particles", which he called "corpuscles." He published his discovery in 1897.\n\nThe periodic law states that the chemical properties of elements largely repeat themselves periodically and is the foundation of the periodic table of elements. The law itself was initially explained by the atomic mass of the elements. However, as there were anomalies in the periodic table, efforts were made to find a better explanation for it. In 1913, Henry Moseley introduced the concept of the atomic number and explained the periodic law with the number of protons each element has. In the same year, Niels Bohr showed that electrons are the actual foundation of the table. In 1916, Gilbert Newton Lewis explained the chemical bonding of elements by electronic interactions.

George Westinghouse was a prolific inventor who influenced the course of history by enabling the growth of the railroads through his inventions and by promoting the use of electricity for power and transportation. As an industrial manager, George Westinghouse's influence on industrial history is considerable, having formed and directed more than 60 companies to market his and others' inventions during his lifetime. His electric company became one of the greatest electric manufacturing organizations in the United States, and his influence abroad was evident by the many companies he founded in other countries. \n\nThe hydroelectric development of Niagara Falls by George Westinghouse in 1896 inaugurated the practice of placing generating stations far from consumption centers. The Niagara plant transmitted massive amounts of power to Buffalo, New York, over 20 miles away. With Niagara, Westinghouse convincingly demonstrated both the general superiority of transmitting power with electricity rather than by mechanical means (the use of ropes, hydraulic pipes, or compressed air had also been proposed) and the transmission superiority at that time of alternating current (ac) over direct current (dc). Niagara set a contemporary standard for generator size, and was the first large system supplying electricity from one circuit for multiple end-uses (railway, lighting, power). \n\nTo solve the problem of sending electricity over long distances, George Westinghouse developed a device called a transformer. The transformer allowed electricity to be efficiently transmitted over long distances. This made it possible to supply electricity to homes and businesses located far from the electric generating plant

I'm assuming you mean Einstein, but I would have to go with Newton. He invented calculus and was absolutely revolutionary in developing elementary physics. Now, obviously Einstein was brilliant too, but at least he had a long background of physicists to build on. He stood on the shoulders of giants, one of which is newton.

Ben Franklin discovered electricity when he was visiting Mars. They have electrical storms something fierce up there, if memory serves me correctly.
