Brief History of Electrical Engineering

William Gilbert (1544-1603)
Father of magnetism
First to experiment with electricity
Coulomb (1736-1806), 220 yrs ago
the law of electrostatic attraction ()
the unit of electrical charge (), is named in his honor.

Alessandro Giuseppe Anastasio Volta (1745-1827)

discovered chemical reaction driven by electric current
naming of the electrical unit, volta (Symbol: "V ).

Andre-Marie Ampere (1775-1836)

discovered Current Magnetic flux (182 yrs ago)
naming of the electric current, Ampere(Symbol: A ).
