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.
