Experiments and Observations on Electricity

"Experiments and Observations on Electricity," a work by Benjamin Franklin, documented key discoveries about electrical phenomena. Franklin conducted experiments like flying a kite during a storm to show that lightning is a form of electricity. He also identified positive and negative charges and introduced the concept of charge conservation. These observations helped establish fundamental principles of electricity, such as how charge moves and how it can be stored or transferred. His work laid the groundwork for future electrical science and technology, providing a systematic understanding of electrical behavior in natural and man-made devices.
