Alessandro Volta's theory of contact tension considered that the emf, which drives the electric current through a circuit containing a voltaic cell, occurs at the contact between the two metals. Volta did not consider the electrolyte, which was typically brine in his experiments, to be significant.
9) Ponte Colossus, Italy â 500 ft (152 m) You will find this 350 m long bridge awe-inspiring and an inspiring spot for an energetic sport like bungee jumping.
