 Eddison was the first person to invent a light bulb which is todays most used form of electricity in our households So Thomas Addison wasn't actually the first to experiment with a light bulb or any type of electrical bulbs,Humphry davy was one of the first people to invent electric light in 1802,He decided to connected his wire to his batteries and a piece of carbon.




Although there have been plenty of people over the years saying that different people invented the light bulb we may never know,So who actually created electricity?
