Electricity
Hard to define in a scientific way
ft can simply be said that electricity
is composed of electrons, the unit of
negative electricity, and protons,
the positive electron. Both units are
so inconceivably small they may
be regarded as mere charges of
energy. To Dr. William Gilbert, who
became physician to Queen Eliza
beth in 1601, goes the credit of call
ing that "something” electric. He
originated the term electric as a
name for any substance such as
amber that was stimulated by fric
tion. "Electric" comes from the
Greek "Elektron.” meaning amber.
This was because Thales, a Greek
philosopher, way back in 600 B. C.,
discovered that a piece of amber
rubbed with cloth possessed the
power of attracting feathers, pieces
of paper and other light bodies.
