During the latter part of the 1800s, the study of electricity was largely considered to be a subfield of physics. It was not until the late 19th century that universities started to offer degrees in electrical engineering. In 1882, Darmstadt University of Technology founded the first chair and the first faculty of electrical engineering worldwide.
Italian physicist and electrical engineer Galileo Ferraris publishes a paper on the induction motor, and Serbian-American engineer Nikola Tesla gets a US patent on the same device [4] [5] 1890: Thomas Alva Edison invents the fuse: 1893: During the Fourth International Conference of Electricians in Chicago, electrical units were defined 1893
Franklin's electrostatic machine on display at the Franklin Institute. Franklin's electrostatic machine is a high-voltage static electricity-generating device used by Benjamin Franklin in the mid-18th century for research into electrical phenomena.
In 1904, John Ambrose Fleming, the first professor of electrical Engineering at University College London, invented the first radio tube, the diode. Then, in 1906, Robert von Lieben and Lee De Forest independently developed the amplifier tube, called the triode. Electronics is often considered to have begun with the invention of the diode.
These systems were replaced by cheaper and more versatile electrical systems, but by the end of the 19th century, city planners and financiers were well aware of the benefits, economics, and process of establishing power transmission systems. In the early days of electric power usage, widespread transmission of electric power had two obstacles ...

Adolphe Cochery, Minister of Posts and Telegraphs of the time, had initially suggested that an international exposition should be held. [2]This show was a great stir. The public could admire the dynamo of Zénobe Gramme, the incandescent light, the théâtrophone (with stereophonic sound), the electric tramway of Werner von Siemens, the telephone of Alexander Graham Bell, an electrical ...
