The 12 pages that link to Alessandro Volta, each with the reason it gives.

• Ohm's lawRelated: The pile enabled the sustained-current experiments that preceded Ohm’s work.

• Direct currentRelated: His battery made sustained direct current available for controlled experiments.

• ElectrochemistryRelated: His pile demonstrated that contact between dissimilar materials could produce sustained current.

• Thermoelectric effectRelated: His contact-potential interpretation became entangled with explanations of Seebeck’s observations.

• Hans Christian ØrstedRelated: Volta’s battery supplied the kind of current Ørsted investigated.

• VoltRelated: The volt is named in his honor.

• Voltaic pileRelated: Volta described and presented the pile in 1800.

• Luigi GalvaniCompared with: Volta argued that the metals, rather than the frog tissue, generated the observed current.

• Thomas Johann SeebeckRelated: Volta’s work on contact electricity shaped the scientific context in which Seebeck studied material junctions.

• Georg OhmRelated: Volta’s battery gave Ohm a steady source for studying electric currents.
