Electromagnetism is the interaction between electric current or fields and magnetic

fields.

Oersted concluded that a magnetic field can create an electric current.

Oersted purposely experimented electricity and magnets to find its relationship.

In Hertz’s experiment, he was able to discover that attraction and repulsion of wires
happens just by running current through the wires and changing its direction.

Ampere called his discovery as Electrodynamics’.

before AFTER Statements

The light bulb lights up when the magnet is hold still inside the coil.

Faraday claimed that a changing magnetic field produces an electric current.

Maxwell’s Electromagnetic Theory states that a changing electric field produces a

magnetic field even in the absence of electric currents.

Heinrich Hertz was not able to prove the existence of electromagnetic waves.

when the wire was connected to the battery.

An electric current can create a magnetic field

HANS CHRISTIAN
OERSTED
Based on his experiment, we can conclude that:

1. The compass needle points towards north when there is no

current passing through the wire. This is because the Earth’s
magnetic field is pointing towards north.

2. The electric current flows from positive to negative, while the electrons flow from negative to positive.
Hence, the relationship between the current flow and electron flow is inversely proportional.

3. The compass adjusts its needle to point relatively to the magnetic field’s direction.

EXPERIMENT AND Allowed the current to flow
THROUGH THE WIRE.

CURRENT FLOWS IN THE SAME DIRECTION

• a REPULSION HAPPENED BETWEEN THE WIRES

ANDRE-MARIE
AMPERE
 Based on his experiment, we can conclude that:

1. The magnetic field runs in circles around the conductor.

2. The direction of the magnetic field vector is in the same direction as

the flowing current.

3. Magnetic field lines from the two conductors cancel each other out when the current flows in the
same direction which allow both conductors to experience the force of the magnetic field at the
outside causing them to move towards each other.
 set up a magnet and a solenoid wrapped with a coil of wire,
the wire was connected to a galvanometer to detect the
presence of current.

HE concluded that: current is detected only when the magnet

was moving in and out of the coil and no current was detected
when the magnet was held still inside of the coil.

MICHAEL
FARADAY
Based on his experiment, we can conclude that:

1. A changing magnetic field produces an electric current.

2. An electric current will still be generated when the magnet is placed outside the coil, however, it will not
be as strong as the electric field detected when the magnet was inserted inside the coil of wire.
