Who is the father of electricity?

Question

So far I've seen Ben Franklin, Michael Faraday, and Nikola Tesla as answers.

Answer 1

Michael Faraday.

Though Benjamin Franklin made the first major discovery about properties of electricity, it was the pathbreaking research on electromagnetic induction, which formed the basis for the modern transformers and generators. His later research on electrodes was also significant.

His work on electromagnetic rotation also formed the basis for the electric motor. So his research papers were quite useful to make sure that people understood how to use and harness electricity. Before that, research was going on in electricity but scientists could never determine how to make use of this research in practical day to day life.

Answer 2

Call me an idiot, but I honestly think that it is Ben Franklin. After all, he is the one who discovered electricity, did he not?

Answer 3

Probably the Greek Thales of Miletus. He experimented with static electricity around 600 B.C.

Answer 4

Jesus
