In 1820, André-Marie Ampère formulated what is now known as Ampère’s circuital law. The French physicist and mathematician discovered that the magnetic field created by a current-carrying conductor could be represented mathematically as the sum of a series of small circular loops. This result was significant because it allowed for the prediction of the strength… Read More

In 1865, Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell published a paper titled “A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field” in which he laid the foundations for the modern study of electromagnetism. In this paper, Maxwell formulated four equations that describe how electric and magnetic fields interact. These equations are now known as Maxwell’s equations. Maxwell’s equations… Read More
