How ben franklin discovered electricity?
All of the above took place before Benjamin Franklin joined the fun. Franklin suspected that lightning was electrical in nature, whether because he heard it from someone else, or worked it out himself. When he flew a kite up into a thundercloud, the gods smiled on him and he just drew sparks from the kite-string. The next scientist to try it was killed. Franklin did produce a lot of inventions; the notable one to do with electricity was the lightning conductor.
