The Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus unknowingly experimented with static electricity in 600 BC. He rubbed amber (elektron in Greek) with cat fur and picked up feathers. He thought the attraction was due to magnetism but in 1600, English scientist William Gilbert showed that magnetism and static electricity – that he called “electricus”, meaning AMBER-LIKE – were different.
