In the 19th century, scientists working with chemistry and magnetism began discovering
a rich variety of electrical phenomena. These were to be applied later in inventions including motors,
alternating current, radio, batteries, the telephone, and much more. This is the story of a new branch
of science that changed the way the world does physical work and the way it controls information,
spurring the Industrial Revolution, followed by the Information Age.

The Science and Discovery series recreates history's four thousand year journey to better understand the
world through scientific means. Scientific discovery has often disrupted conventional wisdom. This is a
story of vested interests and independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress.
