Benjamin Franklin stated that electric charge is of two forms-positive and negative. He found out that lightning was electrical by doing the kite experiment. He attached the kite to a silk string and tied a key to the other side. He then inserted a wire to a Leyden jar to collect the electric charge. During thunderstorm Franklin flew the kite and as the thunderstorm passed through the kite, the negative charges were collected and it filled the jar. He was insulated by holding the dry silk ribbon. The experiment proved that lightning is static electricity.
