Who was Edison
Thomas Alva Edison was born on 11 February 1847 in Ohio, USA. However, Edison received very little schooling. He did most of his studies at home. According to reports, his laboratory was in the basement of the family house, where he used to experiment. Seeing his interest in chemistry and physics, his mother provided him with books on related subjects. Not only this, in 1876, Edison built his own laboratory, in which his father helped. It was the time from 1878 to 1880, when Edison and his colleagues worked on thousands of theories to make a lamp. This lamp heats a wire of a substance using electricity, which emits bright light.
