An animation of electric particles moving between negative and positive poles (1:32). A portrait of William Watson (1:35), an English scientist who demonstrated that electricity could be conducted from one place to another by using the Earth to complete the circuit; he is also known for his work with Leyden jars, types of capacitors used in electrical experiments. A portrait of Joseph Henry (1:48), an American scientist who improved electromagnets to produce attracting power, and Samuel Morse (1:58), the American inventor of the telegraph, the original model of which is shown at 2:23.
