History of Electromagnetism

Thales of Miletus600BC

Was the first human to discover electromagnetism, he rubbed the amber and the fur and the bits of fur and hair attracted.

Manges the Shepherd600BC +

He discovered lodestones, which contain mangetities which are natural magnets

William Gilbert1600AC

Published "De Magnete" in which he described the earth as a magnet

Ben Franklin1747AC

Discovered there are two kinds of charges: positive and negative. He also discovered that different charges attract.

Luigi Galvani1737AC

He discovered that electricity from two different metals causes frog legs to twitch.

Charles Augustin de Coulomb1785AC

He invented the Torsion Balance, which later allowed him to measure really small charges

Alessandro Volta1790AC

Discovered that action on two different metals generates electricity. Also invented the voltaic pile battery.

The history of electromagnetism

Hans Christian Oersted1820AC

He invented the compass needle and made the first connection between electricity and magnetism.

Andre Marie Ampere1836AC

Discovered that wires carrying current produce forces on each other and also discovered that electric current produces magnetic fields.

Micheal Faraday1850AC

He had the idea of electric field and he studied the effect of currents on magnets and magnets under electric current. He also invented the disc generator.

James Clerk Maxwell1860AC

He predicted electro magnetic waves.

Heinrich Hertz1885AC

He proved that Maxwell was correct and detects electromagnetic waves.

Guillermo Marconi1895AC

He put his discovery to practical use by sending messages over long distances with radio signals.
