Who is Alessandro Volta?The inventor of the first battery

An Italian physicistStudied electricity along with his friend, Luigi Galvani…

ALESSANDRO VOLTA

DiD YoU KnOw?The electrical unit, voltwas named after him in his honour.

Who is Luigi Galvani? An Italian physicistDiscovered that muscles of dead

frogs’ legs twitched when struck by a spark

Assumed that the tissues of the frogs legs contained electricity !!

Page 5: Inventors and Inventions

. Alessandro Volta?

Friend & colleague of Luigi Galvani

Did many experiments to test Luigi’s theory

Proved Luigi wrong – frog legs do not contain electricity

Through the process of doing all the experiments he invented battery!!

Why our group like his invention?Won’t be able to use battery operated appliances without his invention

Page 8: Inventors and Inventions

Why our group like his invention?We like Alessandro’s

invention as we would not be able to do all the things

we love to do like computer gaming, watching television

and much more battery-operated things.

Became a physicist at the age of 14 Invented battery at the age of 55 in

year 1800 Died at the age of 82 The term “volt” was named after

him

Why did he invent the battery?

In 1791, an Italian physicist called Luigi Galvani discovered that the muscles of dead frogs legs twitched when struck by a spark. Luigi assumed that the tissues of the frogs legs contained electricity. But Alessandro, Luigi’s colleague did many experiments to prove that Luigi was wrong. And by doing all the experiments, Alessandro thought of a way to invent the battery.
