Answer
Luigi Galvani was an Italian scientist who is credited with discovering electricity. In 1786, he conducted an experiment on frog legs where he attached a metal hook to a nerve in the frog's leg and a metal rod to the muscle. When he touched the two metals together, the frog leg twitched. This showed that electricity could cause muscles to contract.
