galvaaniseen
Galvaaninen refers to phenomena related to electricity generated by chemical reactions, specifically those occurring in electrochemical cells. The term originates from the Italian physician Luigi Galvani, who in the late 18th century conducted experiments on frog legs and discovered that they twitched when touched by two different metals. This led to his theory of "animal electricity," though it was later refined by Alessandro Volta.
A key concept within galvaaninen is the galvanic cell, also known as a voltaic cell. This device
The driving force for the electron flow in a galvanic cell is the difference in the electrode
