Nature of Electricity.

A: When was the first recorded observation on electricity made?

B: As much as I know it was made by the Greek philisopher Thales.

■ A: What did he state, I wonder?

B: Don’t you know? He stated that & piece of amber rubbed with fur attracted light objects such as feathers & bits of straw. Did he make any experiments?

A: No, as far as it is'known Thales liked to speculate but he did not experiment systematically. 22 centuries elapsed before there 'was any progress.

B: Oh, it was just about the time that Galileo discovered the laws of the pendulum & accelerated bodies. So it was at the time when the study of magnetism & of electrical phenomena began.

A: How was it found that some substances could be “electrified”?

B: It is a well-known fact that having been rubbed many substances behave like amber does.

A: Can only similar substances become electrified or acquire electrical charges, being touched together & then separated?

B: No. Later on it was discovered that any two dissimilar substances could be electrified. As a matter of fact rubbing is not essential. It merely forces the two substances into close contact.

A: When was the modern concern of the nature of electricity arrived at?

B: During the past century the idea of the nature of electricity was completely revolutionized.

A: Yes, I know it quite well. Hitherto, the atom ’has been regarded as the ultimate subdivision of matter. Today the atom is regarded as an electrical system.

B: Oh, now I want to examine you a little. What do you know about the nucleus, the proton & the electron?

A: I don’t mind. In the electrical system there is a nucleus containing positively charged particles. These particles are called protons. The nucleus is surrounded by lighter negatively charged units - electrons. So, the most essential constituent of matter is made up of electrically charged particles.
