Detailed explanation-1: -“The lightning rod was invented by Benjamin Franklin, but perfected decisively by Nikola Tesla.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Here’s how the experiment worked: Franklin constructed a simple kite and attached a wire to the top of it to act as a lightning rod. To the bottom of the kite he attached a hemp string, and to that he attached a silk string. Why both? The hemp, wetted by the rain, would conduct an electrical charge quickly.
Detailed explanation-3: -lightning rod, invented by Benjamin Franklin, is a pointed metal rod attached to a building’s roof. The rod is then connected to copper or aluminum wire (conductor) to ground electrodes buried in the earth. Lightning rods are often misunderstood. Many people believe lightning rods “attract” lightning.
