Electrical Conduction in Metals and Alloys
2011
The first observations involving electrical phenomena probably began with the study of static electricity. Thales of Miletus, a Greek philosopher, discovered around 600 BC that a piece of amber, having been rubbed with a piece of cloth, attracted feathers and other light particles. Very appropriately, the word electricity was later coined by incorporating the Greek word elektron, which means amber.
