  • chemistry of gasses

    In 1776-77 Volta studied the chemistry of gases. He discovered methane by collecting the gas from marshes. He devised experiments such as the ignition of methane by an electric spark in a closed vessel. Volta also studied what we now call electrical capacitance, developing separate means to study both electrical potential (V) and charge (Q), and discovering that for a given object they are proportional. This may be called Volta's Law of capacitance, and likely for this work the unit of electrica
  • Professor of experimental

    In 1779 a chair of physics was founded in Pavia, and Volta was chosen to occupy it.
  • Electrician

    Regarded in some circles as "the Newton of electricity," by the 1780s Volta had won a European fame as an "electrician," a chemist specializing in the chemistry of airs (especially "the inflammable air found in marshes," i.e., methane, his discovery), and the brilliant inventor of intriguing machines.

  • Royal Society of London

    In 1794, the Royal Society of London awarded Volta the Copley Medal for his work on Galvanism.
  • The first electric battery

    In 1800 Alessandro Volta invented the batery, befor he invented the batttery he studied different chemicals and gases.
