 (Discoverer of
Electromagnetism)
Hans Christian Oersted

• Discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields, which was a key step in
understanding the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

• First to observe the deflection of a magnetic needle by an electric current.

• The one who showed how a current carrying wire behaves like a magnet.

 (Experimental Verification)
Henry Hertz
Henry Hertz
• Conducted experiments in the 1880s to verify Maxwell's electromagnetic wave
theory.

• Demonstrated the existence of electromagnetic waves, confirming the theory.

• He also showed that the velocity of radio waves equaled the light velocity, which
established the fact that radio waves were a kind of light.

 (Electromagnetic Induction)

Michael Faraday
Michael Faraday
• Discovered electromagnetic induction, which is the process of
generating an electric current by moving a conductor through a
magnetic field.

• Faraday also introduced the concept of field in physics to describe

electromagnetic interaction.

 (Ampere's Circuital Law)
Andre Marie Ampere
Andre Marie Ampere
• Developed Ampere's Law, which describes the relationship between electric
currents and magnetic fields.

• Demonstrated the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire.

• Ampere's law relates the magnetic field to the current and played a key role in
understanding the behavior of currents and their associated magnetic fields.

 Which one of the scientist is our favorite?

We like Faraday because he’s awesome, he formulated the principle’s behind the
Electromagnetic Induction and he’s also youthful!!!
