He used an electric current to affect the needle of a compass.
Hans Oersted observed the needle of a compass move when he switched on an electric current nearby. He realized that there was a relation between electricity and magnetism.

I think Hans Christian Oersted discovered that electricity and magnetism are related.
Hans Christian Oersted. In 1820, he discovered that an electric current could affect a compass needle.
A notable series of investigations of the relationship between electricity and magnetism was conducted almost in parallel in England by Michael Faraday and in America by Joseph Henry. Both Faraday and Henry discovered the principle of the dynamo in 1830-31, for example. Although they independently discovered many of the same connections and devices, Faraday's work was to have the greater theoretical impact while Henry's had more immediate practical application.

I think Hans Christian Oersted discovered that electricity and magnetism are related.
He is a Danish Scientist and was giving a lecture in Copenhagen to try and show there was no connection between electricity and magnetism.
Hans Christian Oestered discovered the electricity and magnetic produce.
Hans Christian Oersted. In 1820, he discovered that an electric current could affect a compass needle.
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........
