Yes, Thales of Miletus is often associated with early studies of electricity due to his observations of amber. Around 600 BCE, he noted that when amber was rubbed with fur, it could attract lightweight objects, an effect we now recognize as static electricity. While Thales did not understand the phenomenon in modern terms, his work laid the groundwork for later investigations into electricity and magnetism.

Thales discovered static electricity by rubbing a peice of amber against a silk cloth.
Electricity
Thales of Miletus is credited with being one of the first to observe the properties of static electricity. However, the term "electricity" itself was coined later by William Gilbert in the 16th century.
Thales' experiment involved rubbing amber with fur, creating friction that transferred electrons from the fur to the amber. This resulted in the amber gaining a negative charge, while the fur became positively charged. The separation of charges created static electricity.
Thales of miletus conducted first experiments on static electricity.Then we can say that it was he how discovered electricity
Thales of Miletus is said to have discovered static electricity around 600 BCE. He observed that when amber was rubbed with fur, it attracted lightweight objects like feathers.
Thales discovered static electricity accidently in 585 BC when he rubbed by chance fur and amber and observed that with it he could attract very light weighted objects like feathers etc.

Static electricity was first discovered in ancient Greece around 600 BCE by Thales of Miletus when he observed that amber (a fossilized tree resin) could attract lightweight objects after being rubbed.
