What did Luigi galvani discover?

He discovered that frogs legs convulsed when touched by metal that was charged by electricity.


How does an electric cell work?

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. He created the Vollaic pile. The 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.


Why voltmeter called voltmeter?

To meter is to measure. A voltmeter is so called because it measures volts. An Italian scientist named Galvani was dissecting a dead frog, and noticed the muscles twitching each time he touched them with a metal scalpel. He reported this observation. Another Italian scientist named Volta read the report and started investigations which led him to the invention of the electric cell and electric battery. The volt is named in his honour. (Galvani is commemorated by galvanometer, galvanism and galvanise.) So, a voltmeter is called that because an Italian got curious about what another Italian noticed.


When was Edison Uno born?

Edison Uno was born in 1929.


Who invented the electric generator?

The principles that led to the invention of the generator is credited to Michael Faraday, but there is no doubt that others would have been conducting research in the same area but failed to obtain recognition, perhaps because they did not patent their discoveries.
