Answer:

This is False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Industrial Revolution started in 18th Century England and saw an increase in manufacturing led by the Steam Engine and other technologies.

While this did give a rise to large factories, it should be remembered that modern electrical science only came into being in the 19th century.

Hence, the electricity as we know today came over a hundred years after the Industrial revolution began.
