ELECTRICITY
This is the person who is known as 'the father of electricity'.
Electricity is the flow of electrical power. We get it from the burning of coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources. It is used for powering lights, TVs, computers… and the list goes on.

the kite expriment
The Ben Franklin Kite Experiment is one that most of us have heard something about. The most common belief is that he flew a kite into some storm clouds and received an electric shock, discovering electricity. Whilst this is not strictly true, this experiment was a major contribution to physics, increasing our knowledge of electrcity.
