In 1820, showed how a current-carrying wire behaves like a magnet.
Hans Christian Oersted
In 1821, formulated the principle behind
electromagnetic induction.
Michael Faraday
Demonstrate the magnetic effect based on the direction of current.
Andre-Marie Ampere
In 1879, showed experimental evidence of electromagnetic waves and their link to light.
Heinrich Hertz
Around 1862 he contributed in developing equations showing the relationship of electricity and magnetism.
