What do Benjamin Franklin found out about electricity?
Benjamin Franklin decsovered electricity by flying a kite in the middle of a thunderstorm. he tied a key to the top and when lighting struck the rod it made electricity because the negitave charge from the cloud and the positive charge from the key repelled toghter and made electricity...Benjamin Franklin found a way to control electric power using his famous kite experiment. He along with his son, William, flew a kite during a thunderstorm. The kite was attached to a silk string connected to a key. The key had wire tied around it leading to a Leyden jar. Benjamin Franklin held on to a silk ribbon also connected to the key. When lightning struck the kite, the electricity traveled down the silk string to the key, where it traveled down the wire to the Leyden jar. Benjamin Franklin was very lucky to be alive after performing this experiment, for many scientist have tried to imitate this experiment and have ended up being electrocuted.
