discoverer of the electrolysis of water
developed an electrochemical telegraph where the signal was transduced electrochemically
greatest supporter of Galvani's theory, his work contributed significantly to make Galvani's discoveries more widely known
contributed to the development of early electrical devices and instruments; the best known is the Bohnenberger electroscope
William Wollaston redesigned and improved the Volta’s pile, proved the identity of voltaic and frictional electricity, discovered the elements palladium and rhodium and first reported the dark lines in the spectrum of the Sun
demonstrated the electrical potential in the juncture-points of two dissimilar metals when there is a heat difference between the joints (thermoelectric effect)
physicist who laid the foundations for the science of electrodynamics through his demonstration that electric currents produce magnetic fields, and through his subsequent investigation into the relationship between these two phenomena
the first to establish an explicit connection between galvanism and chemical reactivity, the discoverer of electroplating, the pioneer of scientific electrochemistry
designed in 1822 one of the first models of an electric motor supplied by continuous current, studied terrestrial magnetism, invented telescope lenses known as Barlow lenses
played a crucial role in understanding electromagnetism, discovered that a compass needle deflects when an electric current is switched on or off in a nearby wire
chemist who discovered several chemical elements (including sodium and potassium) and compounds and greatly contributed to the understanding of electrochemistry
known for his determination of atomic weights, the development of modern chemical symbols, his electrochemical theory, the discovery and isolation of several elements, the development of classical analytical techniques
built the first galvanometer in 1820; it is the first sensitive instrument for measuring and detecting small amounts of electricity
developed a voltaic battery having large plates, used for producing rapid and powerful combustion, called a deflagrator
in 1825 built the first practical electromagnet, in 1832 invented the commutator for electric motors and in 1836 made the first moving-coil galvanometer
invented a thermopile used in measuring radiant heat and the astatic galvanometer
was the first man to build consciounsly an electromagnet in September 1820, discovered the phenomenon of magnetic rotation
may literally be called a “grandfather” of electrochemistry: developed the first battery, validated Faraday's laws, studied piezoelectricity, the first of four generations of Becquerels who greatly contributed to science
physicist who discovered the law connecting current, voltage and resistance - Ohm's law
British chemist and meteorologist who invented the Daniell cell, which was a great improvement over the voltaic cell used in the early days of battery development
designed the sine galvanometer and the tangent galvanometer and used them to support Ohm's Law
English physicist and chemist contributed greatly to the understanding of electromagnetism and formulated the most fundamental laws of electrochemistry
inventor of the electric telegraph and the related code system that bears his name
developed a mirror galvanometer and gave the name "galvanometer" to a physical instrument measuring an electric current
discovered the phenomenon of self-inductance, the unit of inductance, called "the henry"
published in 1829-1830 papers on the production of electric currents in closed circuits by the approach and withdrawal of a magnet, thereby anticipating Faraday's classical experiments of 1831
a pioneer in the development of electrical science, inventor of the induction coil, which led to the modern transformer; he devised several types of galvanic battery, constructed one of the first DC electro-motors and wrote a patent on the protection of iron from rusting
built one of the first magnetoelectrical machines capable of producing electrical sparks
