Electrical inventors


List below with attached picture with their Biodata. They are very popular electrical inventors even up to the present time, one of the remarkable was their family names use as units in the formulas of ohms law.

Ohms Law formula
Voltage(v) = Current(i) times resistance(r)


addtional formula
Power(p) = Current(i) times voltage(v)

The unit of voltage is volt while current is ampere then resistance is ohms and power is watts.


Alessandro Volta

1779 He became a professor of physics at the University of Pavia for 25 years
1800 He developed voltaic pile
1801 Napoleon made him a count the electrical unit known as volt.
