Alessandro Volta
A voltaic battery is also known as a voltaic pile, which is a set (or pile) of galvanic cells linked together in series to create a larger voltage than could be generated by a single galvanic cell. Therefore a voltaic cell would simply be one element of the pile which is also one galvanic cell.
A "Volta's Pile" or "Voltaic Pile" consisted of discs of zinc and copper with pieces of cardboard soaked in brine between the metal plates. It was the first "wet cell battery". This principle is used similarly today but the metals and fluids are quite different. The first electrical circuit was created by an Italian physicist named Luigi Galvani in the 1780s. He discovered a frog's leg would twitch when touched with two pieces of metal. His work was taken up by Professor Alessandro Volta who first invented the "Voltaic Pile".
n : battery consisting of a number of voltaic cells arranged inseries or parallel
Yes
The person who discovered the voltaic pile was Walter Luchay.
the Voltaic Pile was important because is was the start of electricity for the world.
yes

A battery
because it wanted things to work
The voltaic pile or "battery".
It means, "pile." It could mean a pile of wool, a pile driven into the ground, a Voltaic pile (battery), or an atomic pile (nuclear reactor).
The voltaic cell has but one electolyte, see Voltaic Pile. The Daniell cell is an improvement on the voltaic cell using two electolytes and solves the problem with polarization.
temperature sensorAnswerA thermo-voltaic junction, or thermo-voltaic pile, is used for this purpose. A thermo-voltaic junction consists of two dissimilar metals connected together; as the temperature increases, an increasing potential difference arises between the two metals. A thermo-voltaic 'pile' is a number of thermo-voltaic 'junctions' connected in series.
