の Voltaic pile 電気化学セルを直列に接続することで電圧を加える原理を確立した。各亜鉛-銅ペア、つまりセルは、特性電圧を生成する。 起電力 (EMF) of approximately 0.76 volts. By physically stacking these cells, Volta demonstrated that the total voltage across the pile is the sum of the individual EMFs of each cell, as described by [latex]V_{total} = n \times V_{cell}[/latex].
