    Benjamin Franklin conducted experiments that proved lightning is a form of electricity and invented the lightning rod. Charles Coulomb defined the electrostatic force of attraction and repulsion between electric charges. Alessandro Volta invented the first battery, the voltaic pile, by discovering electricity could be produced from two dissimilar metals in salt water. Georg Ohm formulated Ohm's law describing the relationship between voltage, current and resistance in an electric circuit. James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory established that electricity, magnetism and light are all manifestations of the same phenomenon.
