Bio:-
- Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta was an Italian physicist known for the invention of the battery in the 1800s.
- He worked with Luigi Galvani on the bio-electrical phenomenon and realized that the frog legs were acting as both conductors and detectors of electricity.
- He replaced the frog legs with brine-soaked paper and detected the flow of electricity and thus discovered the electro-chemical series and the law that the electromotive force (emf) of a galvanic cell, consisting of a pair of metal electrodes separated by electrolyte, is the difference between their two electrode potentials.
- After this, he invented the voltaic pile, an early electric battery, which produced a steady electric current.
