Who discovered electrostatics?

Answer 2

Benjamin Franklin is given the credit. He flew a kite in a thunderstorm and the wet string conducted a charge from the clouds down to a metal key attached to the string. He was lucky he was not killed when he touched the key and got a shock. Had the kite actually been struck by lightning he would have been killed, and several others were killed that later attempted to replicate Franklin's experiment!!

Answer 3

The ancient Greek philosopher Thales (624-546 B.C.) discovered that when a piece of amber was rubbed, it could pick up light objects, a process known as triboelectrification. The Greek name for amber, elektron, gave rise to many of the words we use in connection with electricity. It was also noted that lodestone had the natural ability to pick up iron objects, although the early Greeks did not know that electricity and magnetismwere linked.
