Asked by violet

Sara read in a book that in 1800, the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta observed that two metals connected by a conducting liquid produced a continuous transfer of electrons. This phenomenon was different from the rapid static discharge observed by Benjamin Franklin.

Sara’s book was describing Volta’s observation of:

resistance.
static electricity.
electric current.
superconductivity.

electric current.

Volta’s experiments (leading to the voltaic pile) produced a continuous flow of charge between two different metals through a conducting liquid — a steady electric current, unlike a brief static discharge.
