Was math used to make electricity possible?

Answer 1

No, math was not used to make electricity possible. Math can, however, be used to describe the various characteristics of electricity.

Electricity has been around since the beginning of time. Electric charge is the surplus or deficit of electrons on atoms. Electric current is the transfer of electric charge between atoms, either directly because they are in contact with each other, or across a medium or space, induced by an electric potential, which is a difference in charge.

Math, on the other hand, while being around for several thousand years, post dates electricity by a long, long time. Based on estimates of the age of the universe, that time would be in excess of 15 billion years.
