The First Battery By Rizaan

Ben Franklin made the first battery out of a Leyden jar. He made it in 1742. The Leyden jar works by storing electricity. The Leyden jar has a wire on the top, metal foil inside of it and water. It is dangerous because the wire on the top can shock you. Ben put five Leyden jars around a turkey. He did the kite experiment first so he can know that lighting is electricity and then he made the Leyden jar.
