In the 18th century, the experimental work that began in the previous century was accelerated. Other effects were soon discovered and new paraphernalia developed while new concepts were defined, an essential preliminary step in understanding electrostatic phenomena. We owe the Englishman Stephen Gray for the discovery of electrification by influence, consisting of the possibility of electrifying a body at a distance, without direct contact, as well as the distinction between conductive bodies, which allow electricity to spread, and insulating bodies, which inhibit this transmission.
Later, Alexander Volta's research in the 19th century allowed him to develop the first chemical cells capable of storing electricity. This is how he invented the battery. Names like Faraday, Ohm, Ampere, or Morse made their progress in the same century. Already at the end of the century, personalities such as Edison or Tesla emerged, who with their research changed the course of history and made electricity the central axis of our lives.
