2. Kite experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_experiment

   The experiment was first proposed in 1752 by Benjamin Franklin, who reportedly conducted the experiment with the assistance of his son William. The experiment's purpose was to investigate the nature of lightning and electricity, which were not yet understood. Combined with further experiments on the ground, the kite experiment demonstrated that ...

4. Experiments and Observations on Electricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiments_and...

   Experiments and Observations on Electricity is a treatise by Benjamin Franklin based on letters that he wrote to Peter Collinson, who communicated Franklin's ideas to the Royal Society. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The letters were published as a book in England in 1751, and over the following years the book was reissued in four more editions containing ...

5. Franklin bells - Wikipedia

   The experiment can also be used to illustrate the properties of static electricity, and how it can be conducted through metal wires to create an electric current. By rubbing a balloon or other object to create a static charge, and then using the charge to activate the bells, students can see the effects of static electricity and learn how it ...

6. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

   Alternating electric current flows through the solenoid on the left, producing a changing magnetic field. This field causes, by electromagnetic induction, an electric current to flow in the wire loop on the right. The most widespread version of Faraday's law states:

7. Penny battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_battery

   The penny battery experiment is common during electrochemistry units in an educational setting. Each cell in a penny battery can produce up to 0.8 volt, and many can be stacked together to produce higher voltages. Since the battery is a wet cell, the effectiveness will be reduced when the electrolyte evaporates.
