Abstract The historical development of electrochemistry constitutes one of the more interesting stories of science. it begins with observations made in 1600 by gilbert, physician to queen Elizabeth, on the ability of amber to attractpith or queen Elizabeth, on the ability of amber to attractpith or other light objects when rubbed with a piece of fur. Gilbert coined the word electric (from the greek one of amber) in describing such behaviours. Benjamin franklin (1750), began the subject of electrostatics. He suggested that different behaviours of electrostatically charged glass and amber was not due to two kinds of electricity, but rather to an excess or deficiency of an electric fluid. |
