VOLTA'S BATTERY

The Battery prototype is made up of similar elements, voltaic elements, superimposed to form a column. Each voltaic element consists of a copper and a zinc disc, joined by a layer of cardboard or felt, soaked in sulfuric acid. Silver can also be used instead of copper, while zinc can be replaced by tin. Alessandro Volta's battery can therefore be considered a column of galvanic cells connected in series.
