	Many of his researches were inspired by a search for polarities in nature and relationship between those forces of nature. When William Herschel discovered "heat ray" or infrared radiation, Ritter was inspired to research the opposite or cooling radiation at the end of the visible spectrum. After multiple trials and errors, he noticed that silver chloride transformed faster from white to black when it was placed close to its violet end. The rays he found were later called as ultraviolet radiation.		Many of his researches were inspired by a search for polarities in nature and relationship between those forces of nature.

	After his discovery of ultraviolet light, Ritter progressed to do more research on electrical experiments, which led to his discovery of the process of electroplating. Through this, he invented the dry cell battery and developed a storage battery.

	Ritter had some of his researches that were not confirmed by other researchers. For example, he stated that the Earth had electric poles that could be detected by the motion of a bimetallic needle. Also, he reported that he could split water into hydrogen and oxygen by using series of magnets, instead of Volta's piles.
