Developed the incandescent lamp

Described the electrification of many substances

Bought the patent rights to Tesla's alternating current system

The electrical unit "volt" is named for him

Build the first electric generating machine

Discovered that a magnetic field is surrounds a current carrying wire by observing that electrical currents affected the needle on a compass.

Established two laws: VOLTAGE LAW and CURRENT LAW

He began experimenting on generators in 1883 and discovered the rotating magnetic field.

He developed a crude electric motor in 1831

He proved that lightning and electricity were the same

He observed that a discharge of static electricity made a dead frog's twitch.

Distinguished between materials that were conductors and nonconductors

Who coined the term electricity?

Conceived the idea sending coded messages over wires using the electromagnetic telegraph and a code of electrical impulses identified as dots and dashes that eventually became known as "Morse Code"

An early type of electric cell or battery

Developed incandescent lamp in England

Demonstrated an electromagnetic device that was capable of lifting over a thousand pounds

Within 2 years, he observed that a coil of wires acts like a magnet when electric current is passed through it.

Developed incandescent lamp in America

Working independently, they invented an electrical storage device Leyden jar

Documented what eventually became known as static electricity

Invented the electromagnetic

Developed the Systém International d'Unites (SI) units
