Question : 7 [SSC CHSL 2015]
Who discovered the link between electricity and magnetism ?
a) Michael Faraday
b) Volta
c) Diesel
d) Maxwell
Answer »Answer: (d)
The connection between electricity and magnetism was discovered by famous Danish chemist and physicist, Hans Christian Oersted in 1819. Starting about a decade after Oersted’s discovery, Michael Faraday demonstrated essentially the opposite of what Oersted had found–that a changing magnetic field induces an electric current.
He achieved an electrical current from a changing magnetic field, a phenomenon known as electromagnetic induction. Following Faraday’s work, James Clerk Maxwell developed equations, formally unifying electricity and magnetism.
So it was Maxwell who formulated the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
