It was made up of a series of containers holding brine and electrodes consisting of plates of zinc (Z) and silver (A). A metal hoop (a) connects the cells in a series. Volta (1745-1827) was a professor of physics at the University of Pavia, Italy. He published his invention in 1800 at the same time that this drawing was communicated to the Royal Society in London.Credit:SPL / Science SourceSize:4960px × 3241px (~45 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:battery-electricity-history of science-pile-V510/004-V5100004-voltaFolder Legacy Identifier:spl001_hdModel release:Not releasedParent folder:SPL bulkload #3Alternative versions:View All
