The article presents the main stages in the development of ideas about electricity, magnetism, and the electromagnetic field, as well as their significance for the emergence of electrodynamics. The most significant scientific discoveries and experiments in physics from the 16th to the 19th centuries are listed. The scientific achievements of such great scientists as B. Franklin, Ch. Coulomb, L. Galvani, A. Ampere, G. Ohm, M. Faraday, and J.C. Maxwell are described. This allowed us to identify a certain sequence of cognitive steps that led to the creation of electrodynamics.
