2 On having been verified with a standard voltaic cell the apparatus becomes itself a standard, especially for small electromotive forces.
3 The ordinary voltaic cell is made by bringing together certain chemicals, whose reaction maintains the electric currents taken from the cell.
4 The electromotive force and current of a thermo-electric couple is very much smaller than that given by an ordinary voltaic cell .
5 He thought that with a single voltaic cell he had obtained the spark before the metals touched, but he subsequently discovered his error.
