No one invented electricity. It is a naturally occurring phenomenon.

Benjamin Franklin showed that lightning is electricity. Others developed batteries and applied them to such applications as the telegraph and the telephone. Thomas Edison developed generators and distribution systems to power (and sell) his inventions that required electricity.


No one actually invented electricity. And while Benjamin Franklin is very often credited with discoving electrical current, it was actually Otto von Guericke who first invented a machine that produced electrical currents.

A common mistake is to think that Thomas Edison invented electricity, this however is wrong. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, not electricity. No-one "invented" electricity as it is a natural energy form, but many scientists since the 18C investigated its nature and laws. Even the Ancient Greeks were aware of static electricity's effect, but without knowing what it really is. If anyone can be credited with the really important developments, it is Michael Faraday, for discovering and studying the links between electricity and magnetism; leading to inventing the dynamo, transformer and motor.
