In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) proved electric current can affect a compass needle. However,Oersted could not explain why.
Michael Faraday, investigating further the earlier discovery of electromagnetism by Dr. Hans Christian Oersted (of Denmark).
Michael Farady is best known for his work in the field of electricity and magnetism. He discovered the effect of magnetism on light, discovered and named Diamagnetism, the behavior of substances in magnetic fields and he was the first to produce an electric current from
When an electric current flows through a conductor, it creates a magnetic field around the conductor. This is due to the interaction between the moving charges (the electrons in the current) and the magnetic fields they produce. The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the current flowing through the conductor.
Yes, an electric field can exist without a magnetic field. Electric fields are produced by electric charges, while magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges. So, in situations where there are stationary charges or no current flow, only an electric field is present.
Yes. An electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field, and this will affect a compass. Please note that this is more noticeable in the case of DC - for AC, the current changes all the time, it changes very quickly, and the AVERAGE value of the magnetic field is zero.
Michael Faraday discovered that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current in a wire, which is known as electromagnetic induction. This discovery laid the foundation for the development of electric generators and transformers.
Hans Christian Oersted discovered the magnetic field of electric current in 1820. He observed that a compass needle was deflected when placed near a wire carrying an electric current, showing a relationship between electricity and magnetism.
An electric current produces a magnetic field because moving electric charges create a magnetic field around them. This relationship is described by the right-hand rule, which shows the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. The magnetic field and electric current are interconnected through electromagnetism, as discovered by physicist Hans Christian Oersted in 1820.

The deflection of a magnetic compass in the presence of an electric current, is evidence that an electric current produces a magnetic field.
Oersted discovered that an electric current produces a magnetic field, that the magnetic field direction is perpendicular to the current flow, and that the strength of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current flowing through the conductor.
electric current is induced when a conductor (such as a wire) moves through a magnetic field or when there is a change in the magnetic field surrounding a conductor. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction, discovered by Michael Faraday in the 1830s.
Passing a wire near a magnetic field induces an electric current in the wire.
An electromagnet uses the interaction of electric and magnetic fields to create a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. The electric current produces a magnetic field around the wire, and this field interacts with the magnetic field of the material inside the coil, strengthening the overall magnetic field.
The deflection of a magnetic compass in the presence of an electric current, is evidence that an electric current produces a magnetic field.
