Luigi Galvani
(1737-1798)
Luigi Galvani was a
professor at the
University of Bologna.
He studied the effects of
electricity on animals,
especially on frogs. With
the help of experiments,
he showed the presence Charles Coulomb
of electricity in frogs in (1737-1806)
the year 1791. Charles coulomb was a
great scientist of the
18th century. He
experimented with
mechanical resistance
and developed the
coulomb’s law of
electro-static charges in
the year 1799.
Allesandro Volta
(1745-1827)
Allesandro Volta was an
Italian scientist. He
invented the battery in
the year 1799. He was
the first to develop a
battery (Voltaic cell) that
Hans Christian Oersted
could produce electricity
(1777-1852)
as a result of a chemical
Hans Christian Oersted
reaction.
showed that whenever
a current flows through
a conductor, a magnetic
field is associated with
it. He initiated the study
of electromagnetism
and discovered
Aluminum in the year
1820.
George Simon Ohm
(1789-1854)
George Simon Ohm was
a German physicist. He
experimented with the
electrical circuits and Michael Faraday
made his own part (1791-1867)
including the wire. He Michael Faraday was a
found that some British scientist and
conductors worked great pioneer
when compared to experimenter in
others. He discovered electricity and
Ohms law in the year magnetism. After the
1827, which is a discovery by Oersted, he
relationship between demonstrated
current, voltage& electromagnetic
resistance. induction in the year
1831. This is the basic
principle of the working
of generators
Samuel Finley Breese
Morse
(1791-1872)
Samuel Finley Breese
Morse brought a
telegraphy system to the
forefront with
electromagnets &
invented the code in Joseph Henry
1844 and named after (1799-1878)
him. Joseph Henry was an
American scientist, and
independently
discovered
electromagnetic
induction in the year
1831 – a year before
faraday’s discovery. The
unit of induction was
named after him.
Heinrich F.E. Lenz
(1804-1865)
He is honored by the
law with his name and it
states that the induced
current’s
electrodynamics action
equally resists the
mechanical inducing Hermann Lud-wig
action. Afterward, it was Ferdinand von
identified as an Helmholtz
expression for energy (1821-1894)
conservation. In the year 1870, once
examining all the
common
electrodynamics
theories, he lends his
support for Maxwell’s
theory which was
slightly recognized on
the European continent.
Joseph Wilson Swan
(1828-1914)
In the year 1879, Joseph
Wilson Swan was James Clerk Maxwell
invented as an electric (1831-1879)
lamp in Britain. The James Clerk Maxwell
filament of the lamp is was a British physicist,
carbon & had a and he wrote a treatise
fractional vacuum & on magnetism and
demonstration of electricity in the year
preceded Edison’s in six 1873. He developed the
months. electromagnetic field
equations in the year
1864 .James Clerk
Maxwell formulated an
important theory – that
is, electromagnetic
theory of light.
Sir William Crookes
(1832-1919)
Sir William Crookes was
developed electrical
discharges using
“Crookes tubes” which
are highly evacuated in
1878. These studies laid
the establishment for J.
J. Thomson’s
investigation in 1890 Nikola Tesla
about the discharge- (1856-1943)
tube phenomenon as Nikola Tesla invented
well as the electron. the Tesla coil; the Tesla
induction motor;
alternating current (AC);
electrical supply system
that includes
a transformer; 3-phase
electricity and motor.
Walter Schottky
(1886-1997)
Walter Schottky was a
German physicist. He
defined shot noise-
random electron noise
in thermionic tubes and Edwin Howard
invented the multiple Armstrong
grid vacuum tube. (1890-1954)
Edwin Howard
Armstrong was an
inventor and an
American electrical
engineer. He invented
electronic oscillator and
regenerative feedback.
In 1917, he invented the
superheterodyne radio
and patented the FM
radio in the year 1933.
Seymour Cray
(1925-1996)
In the year 1976, the
father of
supercomputers namely
Seymour Cray & George
Amdahl was defined as
the industry of
supercomputers.
Ray Prasad
(1946-Still Going 2019)
Since the lead engineer,
he initiated SMT into
airplanes as well as
security systems at
Boeing. He handled the
SMT global
implementation like a
program manager at
Intel Organization.
