In the year 1800, Volta, a famous Itaelan physicist, discovered that it a plate of copper and one of zinc went place( in weak sulphuric acid, and cOnnected by a wire above the acid, there was transmitted along the wire a certain amount' of energy, which transmission we speak of tie a current of electricity, comparing It to a current oe water. Ati it requires pressure Or head to make water elow, so it requires electric pressure te make electricity VOW. The pressure of the 'ample cell described above is called a volt, in.honor of its dis- coverer, A dynamo generating 32 Oils WOuld have a pressure equal to that of 32 shnple cells. Electric- energy passing througn line wires will heat them white hot, hence electricity may be used for lighting. Current for this purpose usually has a pressure of 110 volts, when supplied by light and Meer Compaeiea, but private plants usually generate only about 32 volts. • All current generated by dynamos le al. ternateng when made, La, It flows in one direction for half a revolu- tion of the dynamo and then in •the opposite direetidn during the other half, but by fitting the dynamo with a commutator .
