Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetics. It involves basic concepts such as electricity, charge, current, voltage and power. Key fields include power generation and distribution, control systems, electronics, signal processing, telecommunications, computer systems, and instrumentation. The history of electrical engineering dates back to 1600 when William Gilbert discovered static electricity, and important early inventions included the incandescent light bulb and devices for detecting static charges. Famous electrical engineers include Agner Krarup Erlang, Alexander Lodygin, and Alan Blumlein who made innovations in traffic engineering, lighting, and telecommunications.

6. A brief history
In 1600, William Gilbert called the property of attracting particles
after being rubbed electricus
De Magnete was a treatise of electricity and magnetism, noting a long
list of elements that could be electrified.
Gilbert invented the versorium, a device that detected staticallycharged bodies
