Defination:-Ever wondered why people with tooth fillings sometimes
complain of getting an electric shock like sensation while they nibble on to chocolates from the foil coating or from the silver on desserts? It is not just a fleeting sensation, but is actually a minor electric current tantalizing the nerves underneath the tooth. A momentary cell is formed between the foil and the amalgam of the tooth filling with the acidic saliva acting like the transport medium, the electrolyte. History:-Electricity has been by far, one of the most important and novel discoveries to mankind. With population getting increasingly mobile, they have gravitated more towards portable solutions of electricity, which manifests itself in the form of Batteries. Electricity has been around us since the beginning of time, but its practical use has been at our disposal since a few hundred years only. While history stands witness to many artifacts such as the Parthian Battery unearthed in Baghdad, which tell us that the concept had been existent even in early civilizations like Egyptian and Babylonian, their use had been limited to electroplating. In 1660, Otto von Guericke succeeded in generating static charge in the form of sparks on rubbing and turning a sulfur globe. In 1791, Luigi Galvani discovered animal electricity while experimenting on a frog with metallic prongs. Prompted by the findings of this experiment, Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the Electric Battery, initiated a series of experiments using different metals and found out that certain fluids could generate a continuous flow of electricity when used as a conducting medium.
