| Son of a
mechanic, bachelor in 1811 in the University
of Erlangen, became physical university professor in a grammar school
to Cologne near the college of the Gesuiti.Ha municipal relative
studies to the relative conductivity of the metals. By means of
experiments, he reached the conclusions that the conductivity
only according to did not vary the type of metal used like conductor
but also to the section of the same one. He defined the potential difference them
or electromotive force, the current intensity
and the resistance
to the conduction of the electricity. The result of all its
job is in
the homonymous formula, introduced in 1826, in which the circulating
current in a circuit it is function of the applied
tension (potential
difference them) and of the resistance total of the circuit.
In 1841
it was awarded of “Copley
Medal” of the Royal Society of London and
in the 1842 of became member, knows them on the physical chair of the
University of Monaco in 1849. |
