SCIENTISTS AND ELECTRICITY

To show that lightning was indeed electrical, this scientist flew a kite during a storm, to which he had attached a key. When the kite was struck by lightning, he felt electric sparks from the key.

• Albert Einstein

• Leonardo da Vinci

• Isaac Newton

• Benjamin Franklin

My inventions made it possible for people to enjoy the benefits of electricity. My most famous invention is the lightbulb.

• Alessandro Volta

• Thomas Edison

• Nikola Tesla

• Albert Einstein

I specialise in working with electricity. I am most known for designing the AC (alternating current electric system) which we still use today. My inventions have paved the way to many of today’s essential technology such as remote controls, radio, wireless technology, etc.

• Nikola Tesla

• Michael Faraday

• Alexander Graham Bell

• Marie Curie

three types of particles that make up atoms have different charges;

protons = positive charge, neutrons = no charge, and electrons = negative charge. The movement of electric charges causes electrical energy. The type of electrical charge an object has, affects how it behaves around other objects
