ELECTRIC CELL

The electric cell was first discovered by Lucia Galvani, a professor of anatomy at Bologna University, from the leg of a frog using two dissimilar metals, which was known as animal electricity. However, Alexander Volta believed not in the animal but the dissimilar metals were more important than the frog’s leg. Subsequently, Volta did some experiments to show that electricity was produced when two different metals are separated by a non-animal or organic liquid. The outcome of the experiment brought about the crude voltaic cell or simple cell.
