I’m Hans Christian Oersted, a Danish physicist and chemist. I discovered that electric currents generate magnetic fields, marking the first link between electricity and magnetism.
In addition, I demonstrated through experiments that an electric current passing through a wire could move a nearby magnet. This discovery of electromagnetism laid the foundation for the development of the modern, technology-driven world you have today.

Hello, I'm André-Marie Ampère, a French physicist and mathematician. I'm recognized as one of the pioneers of classical electromagnetism, a field I referred to as "electrodynamics."
I later formulated Ampère's law of electromagnetism and provided the most accurate definition of electric current during my time.

Hello, nice to meet you! I'm Michael Faraday, an English scientist. I discovered that a changing magnetic field induces electricity in a circuit, and moving a magnet can generate a flow of current!
My key discoveries include the principles of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and electrolysis.

Good day! I'm James Clerk Maxwell, a Scottish scientist specializing in mathematical physics. My most significant accomplishment was developing the Theory of Light Propagation.
In 1864, I introduced this idea through the publication of "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field," where I proposed that electric fields, magnetic fields, and light could all be unified under a single theory.

Hello, I'm Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, a German physicist. I discovered radio waves and confirmed that James Clerk Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism was accurate, proving the existence of electromagnetic waves.
I also discovered the photoelectric effect, offering one of the earliest hints of the quantum world. The unit of frequency, the hertz, was named in my honor. Pretty cool, right?
