This man invented a ceramic-filament light bulb, as well as a namesake "glower" used in IR spectroscopy.  His namesake effect describes the production of a mutually perpendicular electromotive force when heat flows across a magnetic field.  He won the Nobel Prize for his heat theorem, which says that a crystalline substance at absolute zero has zero entropy, now known as the third law of thermodynamics.  Perhaps his most famous work was modified by Goldman to govern electrical properties of cell membranes, and it came from his theory of a "pressure of dissolution" that forced ions into a solution and off of electrodes.  FTP name this man whose eponymous equation provides the potential of an electrolytic cell.
