Scientist Flashcards
He Applied Maxwell’s theories to the production and reception of radio waves. The unit for frequency of a radio wave was named after him.
Andre-Marie Ampere
He discovered that a wire carrying electric current can attract or repel another wire next to it that’s also carrying electric current.
Heinrich Hertz
He noticed that electrical fields and magnetics fields can couple together to form electric waves. He discovered that a changing magnetic field will induce a changing electric waves
Hans Christian Oersted
He discovered that electric current in a wire can deflect a magnetized compass needle, a phenomenon which was rapidly recognize and which inspired the development of electromagnetic wave theory.
James Clerk Maxwell
He was best known for his discovery of electromagnetic induction and was responsible for introducing the concept describing electromagnetic interception
Michael Faraday
