The Story of Electricity: From Ancient Greece to the 21st Century

COURSE

Course description

This course follows a timeline of discoveries leading to the scientific understanding of electricity. Rub a chunk of amber and watch the static electricity attract threads and fur. Ancient Greeks saw it too, and from then until today we have been mystified and fascinated by electricity. Our approach will be conceptual, not computational. Each session combines interactive demonstrations with student participation. We examine the discoveries and contributions of Franklin, Volta and Faraday, among others who have added to our knowledge of electricity.
