What's that guy's name?
This scientist used a kite to understand the sparks in the sky during a thunderstorm.
Who is Benjamin Franklin?
This device was a jar half filled with water and connected to an electricity generating machine by a wire.
What was the Leyden Jar?
The name for the manipulation of an electric current so that it creates a magnetic 'field'.
What is electromagnetism?
Through the use of Leyden Jars, Benjamin Franklin realized that things could carry these. These are often marked with the use of a + or - sign.
What are positive and negative charges?
This scientist helped contribute to the name of the device known as galvanometers that are used to measure electric currents.
Who was Luigi Galvani?
This scientist sought to understand the relationship between animals' muscles and electricity.
Who is Luigi Galvani?
This metal pole with a sharp point is used to conduct electricity to the ground.
What is a lightning rod?
The name Faraday used to identify electricity flowing through a coiled wire, creating a magnetic field which caused a needle to continuously spin.
What are 'lines of force'?
This name was given to theory that animal muscles and nerves were affected by a source of electricity.
What is 'animal electricity'?
This scientist's name gave us the word 'volt' which is one way to measure electrical power.
Who was Alessandro Volta?
This scientist used a pile to create a continuous electric current.
Who is Alessandro Volta?
This device uses successive layers of zinc and silver, separated by wet cardboard, to produce a continuous electric current.
What is Volta's 'pile'?
This invention was made by moving a permanent magnet in and out of a coiled wire.
What is an electrical generator?
This famous theory used the fact that elements have charges as a central idea when studying chemicals.
What is chemical combination?
This scientist's name gave us the word "amp" which is a unit of electrical current.
Who was Andre-Marie Ampere?
Although he suffered significant tragedies, this scientist realized fundamental things about mathematics, chemistry, and electrodynamics.
Who is Andre-Marie Ampere?
This animal was used to understand the relationship between muscles, nerves, and electricity.
What was a frog?
This invention was made by passing an electric current through a wire wound around an iron ring, which caused a brief electrical current in another wire.
What is the electrical transformer?
Faraday believed that chemical reactions (like magnetism and electricity) took place in one of these.
What is a field?
This notable chemist utilized Volta's electrical 'pile' to analyze how elements were attracted to charged poles.
Who was Humphry Davy?
This scientist was the first to convert electrical energy (electricity) into mechanical energy.
Who is Michael Faraday?
In using equations to describe ideas in the electromagnetism field, one scientist discovered that the electromagnetic force is this.
What is a wave?
This invention uses electric wires to send signals and messages across a long distance.
What is the electric telegraph?
The fact that compasses always pointed in the same direction shows that earth itself acts like this.
What is a huge magnet?
This notable scientist sent a message over thirty-eight miles using electric wires. He is also where we get the term "Morse Code."
Who was Samuel Morse?
