Benjamin Franklin Shocked

Cartoon Benjamin Franklin flying a kite in a storm getting electrocuted with surprised expression

How did Benjamin Franklin feel when he discovered electricity?

Shocked!

😂

Perfect Pun

Did You Know?

"Shocked" means both surprised and electrocuted! Franklin's 1752 kite experiment proved lightning was electrical. He didn't actually get shocked - he used a grounded key to safely observe the charge. Franklin invented the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove. The experiment was extremely dangerous and shouldn't be replicated. Franklin's work with electricity earned him international fame and led to modern electrical theory!
