ELECTRICITY I. DISCOVER OF ELECTRICITY About 600 B.C.‚ Thales‚ a Greek philosopher and scientist‚ observed that a piece of amber attracted small bits of “paper” or very thin wood shavings after it was rubbed with wool. He had discovered‚ in effect‚ static electricity. William Gilbert‚ an English scientist in the sixteenth century‚ found that many other different materials could be made to act like amber. Whenever these objects were rubbed against each other‚ they were able to attract each other
