Why You Should Take Fun Seriously & Electricity’s Amazing Story - SYSK Choice

Everyone at the time thought that the real money was not in electrifying houses, but the real money was in providing electric buses because only the very wealthy could afford light bulbs.

Why You Should Take Fun Seriously & Electricity’s Amazing Story - SYSK Choice

This all began in 1831. There was a scientist named Michael Faraday and he was working for a government job that he hated. So he quit his job and he posted in his notebook that he wanted to make electricity from magnetism, from magnets. And his idea was, well, they knew that if you put electricity in a coil wrapped around an iron bar, it would act like a magnet when the electricity was in it.

And it would stop acting like a magnet when the electricity was turned off. And this was called an electromagnet. And he was like, maybe the iron helps transfer the electricity. So he's like, maybe I can use one electromagnet connected to another electromagnet by an iron bar. So he had this iron ring and he put one coil on one side and one coil on the other.

And he says, maybe if I put a really strong current on the first one and make it a really strong magnet, I can make the other one get electricity. And he tried it and it didn't work. And he was super depressed until he unplugged the battery. And then guess what happened? When he turned it off, the other one created a little burst of electricity.

And then when he plugged it back in, the second one got another little burst of electricity. No matter how strong the magnet was, nothing happened unless it changed. That's what he discovered. He discovered that changing a magnet creates or induces electricity. And this is the basis of almost all the electricity that we get in our walls.

Well, there's so many different starting points for electricity and Benjamin Franklin with the kite in the rain and with naming positive and negative electricity was very important. But I would say that the start of generating electricity, which is so vital for us using electricity, starts with Faraday in 1831, because he figured out how to use magnets to make electricity.
