No, Andre-Marie Ampere lay down the foundational mathematical and physical theory based on the discovery of Hans Christian Ørsted that a magnetic needle is deflected by an adjacent electric current.

In recognition of his theoretical contribution, an international convention signed in 1881 established the ampere as a standard unit of electrical measurement. Ampere died in 1836.
