      It definitely wasn’t invented but it was discovered.
      Electricity has existed in lots of natural forms like electric eels, lightening, static electricity and nerves but we discovered what it was and how to control it.

      I think lightning was the most obvious form of electricity & people wanted to see what they could do with it. First experiments were in trying to capture the lightning!!! That would be so dangerous! 🙂
