Alessandro Jesby Antonio Anastazio Volta is an Italian physicist credited with inventing the first electric battery

Alessandro Volta was born in Como, Italy. Learn in public schools there. In 1774 he becameAlessandro Jesby Antonio
 professor of physics at the Royal School in Como. He married Teresa, the daughter of Ludovico Bergerini, and had three children, Giovanni, Zanino and Flaminio.

He invented a device that generates static electricity (in Latin: Electrophorus). Although this invention is a very large upgrade, but the Swedish professor John Carl Wilkie preceded him to something in a machine invented in 1762. Between 1776 and 1777 Volta studied the chemistry of gases and discovered methane [8] (Latin: Methane) by collecting some Gases from swamps. He experimented with igniting methane gas by electric shock in a closed container. Volta studied the so-called capacitor today, where he studied the relationship between voltage V and charge Q and proved that their values ​​were directly proportional. This is the Volta Act to intensify shipments. The voltage measurement unit was developed after these experiments, which is Volt. In 1779 Volta assumed the position of Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Pavia.
