But further research on electromagnetism and any practical use of electricity would require a source of continuous current, which was not available until 1800, when Alessandro Volta invented the first electric pile, the forerunner of the modern battery. Alessandro Volta was born in Como, Italy in 1745, to a wealthy noble family. He attended the Como Jesuit school and a local seminary. His teachers tried to persuade him to enter the priesthood, while his family wanted him to study law. But Volta, even at age 14, knew his real interest was physics.
Best Answer: The average length of maternity leave is six weeks. If you have a c-section I think they will give you two extra weeks.
If you guessed the answer might be 12 weeks (not an unreasonable assumption, since thatâs the amount of time allotted by our national family leave law), youâd be sadly mistaken. According to recently released census numbers, a majority of mothers who worked during pregnancy go back before that, some way before.
