JAMES CLERK MAXWELL

In 1862, predicted the existence of

electromagnetic waves. He developed a
theory that explains electromagnetic
waves. He found out that combined
electrical fields and magnetic fields can
form electromagnetic waves. He
discovered that a changing magnetic
field will induce a changing electric field
and vice-versa.
 Heinrich Herts
In 1887, a German physicist, that
those waves (other light) were
observed to exist. proved the Theory
of Electromagnetism. One of Heinrich
Hertz’ inventions showed that light
and heat are electromagnetic
radiations. He proved that the speed
and length of electromagnetic waves
can be identified and measured.
 Hans Christian Oersted (ˈƏr-stəd)
In 1819, a professor in the University of
Copenhagen, discovered during a class
demonstration that a current carrying
wire caused a nearby magnetized compass
needle to deflect. This observation fired up
tremendous research on electromagnetism.
As a result, the effect on the motion of
conductors placed within a magnetic field
(such as in the operation of electric
motors) was also experimented much and
paved the way for practical electricity.
Michael Faraday (ˈFer-ə-dā)
conducted his famous induction
ring experiment showing that
current can be produced by
sources of changing magnetic
fields. This is the key principle
to practical generation of
electricity
Electromagnetic theory is
“a changing electric field
generates a magnetic
field” and “a changing
magnetic field generates
an electric field.”
