Benjamin Franklin was an early experimenter with electricity. He observed electricity by taking a ordinary kite and tying a key to the bottom of it. He put the key and the kite outside in a lighting storm and when lightning hit the kite it traveled down the string an hit the key with electical force.
The way he new that lightning would hit the kite is because lightning strikes the highest object in the sky.
However, electricity was in use before Ben Franklin who lived in the 1700s. Leonardo da vinci (1452-1519) experimented with electricity way before him and so did others.
William Gilbert (24th may 1544-10th December 1603) Also worked with electricity)(mostly static electricity) and magnetism.
A greek mathematician named Thales of Miletus is suspected to have been the first one to discover the existence of electricity around 600 BC
The most important person in the history of electricity is without a shadow of a doubt Nikola Tesla who invented roughly 80% of the devices you use today or the parts that permitted its creation from x-rays to radio( nope it wasnt marconi) to micro-waves, he made the first AC motor, discovered polyphase AC, different types of electro-magnetic fields which led to several inventions, VERY few people contributed as much as him to our scientific knowledge and technological advancement and Da Vinci was probly the only one to invent as many different things in a single lifetime. He made the Tesla coil still in use and absolutely essential in several electronic devices even today, and he gave us simplified knowledge about the way the earth and the ionosphere can be used to generate more power than we could possibly use within the next 300 generations.
Also , the big fans of Edison should know:
The first electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy
In fact most of Edison's patents were either stolen( most of em) or bought , he didnt invent much which is why he spent so much effort trying to discredit Tesla and several other employees who left him to work with greater minds or by themselves.
What else can I help you with?
Who created the first form of electricity?
The concept of electricity has been known since ancient times, but the first documented experiments with electricity were conducted by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century. However, it is important to note that electricity exists naturally in the environment, and humans did not create it.
Who wrote New Experiments and Observations on Electricity?
Benjamin Franklin wrote "New Experiments and Observations on Electricity" in 1751. This work was influential in shaping the scientific understanding of electricity during that time.
Who was the first person to experiment with electricity?
The first person to experiment with electricity is considered to be William Gilbert, an English scientist who conducted experiments on electricity and magnetism in the late 16th century. He is often credited with laying the foundation for the study of electricity as a scientific field.
What did people first use for electricity?
People first used static electricity for basic experiments and demonstrations, such as rubbing amber to attract light objects. Later on, the development of the electrostatic generator allowed for more controlled generation of electricity, leading to further advancements in the field.
Is static electricity experiments the same as electricity experiment?
They are both dealing with electricity, so yes. 'static' electricity is mearely a categorization of electric phenomena. The best I've seen it dealt with is here: http://amasci.com/emotor/stmiscon.html#one
How was electricity invetend?
Thales of miletus conducted first experiments on static electricity.Then we can say that it was he how discovered electricity
What was electricity initially utilized for when it was first discovered?
When electricity was first discovered, it was initially utilized for experiments and demonstrations to understand its properties and effects.
Who created the first form of electricity?
The concept of electricity has been known since ancient times, but the first documented experiments with electricity were conducted by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century. However, it is important to note that electricity exists naturally in the environment, and humans did not create it.
Scientist involve in electricity?
Thomas Edison is credited with building the first electric light bulb. Benjamin Franklin is also famous for his experiments involving electricity.
What scientist have done experiments with electricity?
Einstein
Who proved that electricity was real through their experiments?
Benjamin Franklin proved the existence of electricity.

What are some fruit experiments?
We can make electricity out of food
What did people first use for electricity?

What are some experiments Benjamin Franklin did?
key on a kite(electricity)
How do you use static electricity in experiments?
by using hair,wool,or polyester
