It was in 1800, Alessandro Volta made a battery (also known as a voltaic pile), made from alternating layers of zinc and copper. This battery provided scientisists with a more reliable source of electrical energy that the electrostatic machines previously used.

What is the use of conductance?

When referring to electrical conductance, it is used in the application of electricity to equipment. Electrical conductance measures the equipment's ability to conduct electrical charge. A practical application would be to decrease the resistance in an electrical circuit so that the conductance is higher and electricity flows more smoothly.

Where was the first place was electricity used?

Electricity was first used in practical applications in the late 19th century in the United States, primarily for light bulbs and telegraphy. The first widely known demonstration of electricity was by Benjamin Franklin with his kite experiment in 1752, showing the existence of electricity in lightning.


What does practical application mean?

"Practical application" can best be defined by contrasting it to "theoretical application". A practical application is the real or tangible use of a thing or a concept, whereas the outcome of a theoretical application is nontangibe results not subject to objective measurement because the thing or theory has not actually been put to use.

Who invinted electricity?

No one made electricity but they discovered it. Electricity was not invented; it occurs naturally and is an important part of keeping our physical universe in balance. Forms of natural electricity include lightning, static electricity, and the reactions of charged particles. However, legend has it that Benjamin Franklin was the first to realize that we could harness and use that energy for our own purposes when he was struck by lightning while flying a kite. In reality he was not the first to study electricity with this goal, but he did make tremendous progress in its study and practical application.
