- 2. Famous for his theory of electromagnetism, which showed that light was electromagnetic radiation.
- 3. He discovered that electricity could be generated chemically and made to flow evenly through a conductor in a closed circuit. He built a battery, known as a Voltaic pile.
- 6. He formulated a law of electromagnetism that describes the magnetic force between two electric currents.
- 8. American diplomat and natural philosopher, who proved that lightning and electricity were the same. He invented the odometer, glass armonica, the long arm and bifocal eye glasses, the lightning rod amongst others.
- 9. Has contributing inventions such as the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture camera, as well as improving the telegraph and telephone.
Down
- 1. He succeeded in producing mechanical motion by means of a permanent magnet and an electric current. Also, he converted magnetic force into electrical force, thus inventing the world's first electrical generator.
- 4. He discovered that electricity and magnetism are linked. He showed by experiment that an electric current flowing through a wire could move a nearby magnet.
- 5. Invented the world's first electrostatic generator. This device could produce sparks by rubbing it as it rotated, and was one of the first steps towards creating electric light.
- 7. Concluded that there was a type of electrical fluid inherent in the body, which he dubbed animal electricity. According to him, the nervous system delivered animal electricity to muscle tissue.
- 10. Well known for his formulation of a law, describing the mathematical relationship between electrical current, resistance and voltage.
