    The document provides a history of electricity, beginning with the ancient Greeks discovering static electricity through rubbing amber. It then discusses early scientists like William Gilbert in the 1600s and Charles Dufay in the 1733 who discovered different materials that could be electrically charged and that opposite charges attract. The summary concludes with Benjamin Franklin changing the names of the lists of materials to positive and negative in the 1700s, establishing the foundation of modern electrical theory.
