    I always thought it was anyway its not new news




    "Voltaire" and "Volta" are not the same people.


    "Voltaire" is a philosopher and has little or nothing to do with electricity.


    "Volta" was the physicist and electricity pioneer after whom we named the unit of electromotive force.
