Explanation:

Alessandro Volta was a physicist, chemist and a pioneer of electrical science. He is most famous for his invention of the electric battery. In brief he:

• Invented the first electric battery – which people then called the “voltaic pile” – in 1800. Using his invention, scientists were able to produce steady flows of electric current for the first time, unleashing a wave of new discoveries and technologies.

• Was the first person to isolate methane.

• Discovered methane mixed with air could be exploded using an electric spark: this is the basis of the internal combustion engine.

• Discovered “contact electricity” resulting from contact between different metals.

• Recognized two types of electric conduction.

• Wrote the first electromotive series. This showed, from highest to lowest, the voltages that different metals can produce in a battery. (We now talk of standard electrode potentials, meaning roughly the same thing.)

• Discovered that electric potential in a capacitor is directly proportional to electric charge.
