FAQ About Alessandro Volta
What was the relationship between Alessandro Volta and Luigi Galvani?
The relationship between Alessandro Volta and Luigi Galvani was one of respectful scientific debate. Galvani's discovery of what he thought was "animal electricity" in frog legs prompted Volta to conduct experiments that led to the invention of the voltaic pile. Volta’s work ultimately proved that electricity could be generated chemically, rather than relying solely on biological processes, which helped clarify and expand scientific understanding.
