An English Scientist who
developed a scientific theory to better explain electromagnetic waves.
A German physicist who
applied Maxwell’s theories to the production reception of radio waves.
English physicist and chemist
whose many experiments contributed greatly to the understanding of electromagnetism. Made the revolutionary discovery that a wire carrying electric current can attract or repel another wire next to it that’s also carrying electric current.
A Danish physicist and
chemist who discovered that the electric current in a wire can deflect a magnetized compass needle, a phenomenon the importance of which was rapidly recognized and which inspired the development of electromagnetic theory.
