Count Alessandro Volta disagreed with Luigi Galvani's theory of animal electricity and proposed that electricity was produced by the contact of different metals. This led to the development of the first chemical battery known as the voltaic pile, which later became the basis for modern batteries.

What was Alessandro Volta's background?

In 1800, Alessandro Volta of Italy built the voltaic pile and discovered the first practical method of generating electricity. Count Volta also made discoveries in electrostatics, meteorology and pneumatics. His most famous invention, however, is the first battery.Alessandro Volta - BackgroundAlessandro Volta was born in Como, Italy in 1745. In 1774, he was appointed as professor of physics at the Royal School in Como. While at the Royal School, Alessandro Volta designed his first invention the electrophorus in 1774, a device that produced static electricity. For years at Como, he studied and experimented with atmospheric electricity by igniting static sparks. In 1779, Alessandro Volta was appointed professor of physics at the University of Pavia and it was while there that he invented his most famous invention, the voltaic pile.Alessandro Volta - Voltaic PileConstructed of alternating discs of zinc and copper, with pieces of cardboard soaked in brine between the metals, the voltaic pile produced electrical current. The metallic conducting arc was used to carry the electricity over a greater distance. Alessandro Volta's voltaic pile was the first battery that produced a reliable, steady current of electricity.Alessandro Volta - Luigi GalvaniOne contemporary of Alessandro Volta was luigi galvani, in fact, it was Volta's disagreement with Galvani's theory of galvanic responses (animal tissue contained a form of electricity) that led Volta to build the voltaic pile to prove that electricity did not come from the animal tissue but was generated by the contact of different metals, brass and iron, in a moist environment. Ironically, both scientists were right.


What was the name of Alessandro Volta's mother?

Alessandro Volta's mother was named Maria Maddalena Maffei. She was married to Count Filippo Volta, Alessandro's father. Maria played a significant role in Volta's early life, supporting his education and interest in science.
