Electricity hasn't impacted industry over the years; in a large way it has helped to create the idea of industry. Although steam power helped to spur an Industrial Revolution before the development of electricity, electricity's advent helped to usher in industrial productivity on scales never before seen. Entire industries have been created to generate electricity for public use or transmit data through electrical signals. The history of electricity is in a large sense the history of modern society.
Discovery of Electricity
The very beginnings of the search for electricity can be traced back to the mid-17th century German scientist Otto van Guericke who performed experiments focused on the generation of electricity. Although there are some records of Guericke's work, more research exists from British scientist Stephen Gray, who began experimenting with generating electricity in 1729. In the public's mind electricity seemed an otherworldly phenomenon until Benjamin Franklin's 1752 experiments proved that electricity was a naturally occurring force.
Early Innovations
Early developments in electric power technology helped industries to harness the power of electricity and transport it from place to place. In the early 1800s, the work of Nikola Tesla led to the development of alternating-current (AC) and direct-current (DC) technologies, including batteries and cross-country power transfer. The experiments of Georg Simon Ohm led to his 1927 discovery of Ohm's Law, which measures electrical current and opened the door for increased complexity in electrical circuits.
