Hans Christian Oersted. In 1820, he discovered that an electric current could affect a compass needle.
He used an electric current to affect the needle of a compass.
Michael Faraday. Faraday heard of Oersted's work where electricity caused a magnet to move and figured that a moving magnet can make electricity. Faraday developed a homopolar generator that is similar to the electric power meter motors in many homes.
Oersted's discovery was the beginning of Electromagnetism, and showed the motor effect. Oersted inspired Faraday and Maxwell to create the generator effect and the general theory of Electromagnetism.
If the question is do scientists agree there is a relationship, the answer is yes, it has changed civilisation by giving electrical power to most of the human race, the communications industry, computers and medical electronics.

Hans Christian Oersted
Hans Christian Ørsted (or Oersted) lived in Denmark. He discovered the magnetic field produced by an electric current.
In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) proved electric current can affect a compass needle. However,Oersted could not explain why.

The Electric Battery
Hans Christian Oersted established the relationship between electricity and magnetism in 1820.

The electric battery
Hans Christian Oersted studied and experimented on the field of electromagnetism.Electromagnetism is the interaction between electricity and magnetism. From his experiments, Oersted concluded that an electric current produces a magnetic field. The galvanometer measures electric currents and magnetism. (So basically he was the very first person to come up with the idea of a galvanometer.) Hope this helped........
