How a Frog Led to the Invention of Batteries! #history #science

How did a frog help lead to the invention of the battery? Discover the strange and fascinating true story of how a simple experiment with a frog’s leg sparked a scientific revolution. 🐸⚡

In the late 1700s, Italian scientist Luigi Galvani observed that a dead frog’s leg twitched when touched with metal. He believed he had discovered “animal electricity.” But fellow scientist Alessandro Volta had another idea — he believed the electricity came from the interaction between two different metals.

This debate led Volta to invent the Voltaic Pile in 1800 — the world’s first electric battery. 🔋

In this video, we explore:
• The early experiments with frogs and electricity
• Galvani and Volta’s scientific rivalry
• How these discoveries led to the invention of the modern battery
• The origins of our understanding of bioelectricity
