Magnets were discovered in prehistoric times but, I found this in the references for the Wikipedia article "Magnet":
Historical Beginnings of Theories of Electricity and MagnetismMichael Fowler
U Va Physics
The first records of electricity and magnetismThe most primitive electrical and magnetic phenomena -- the attraction of dry light material such as chaff to rubbed amber, and the attraction of iron to loadstone -- were no doubt observed before recorded history began. However, as far as I can find, these phenomena were not recorded by the Egyptians or any other pre-Greek civilization. The first definite statement is by Thales of Miletus (about 585B.C.)

What is the 3 things that oersted discovered about the relationship between electricity and magnetism?
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.
What is a property of a magnetic field?
One property of a magnetic field is that its divergence is zero. That means that a magnetic field line is always a loop and that the net magnetic field coming out of or going in to an enclosed surface is always zero. The result of this is that there are no magnetic monopoles, at least none discovered. Theories, however, do abound.
Passing a magnetic field by a wire creates a what?
Passing a wire near a magnetic field induces an electric current in the wire.
Do magnetic field lines close together indicate a weaker magnetic field?
No, magnetic field lines close together indicate a stronger magnetic field, while magnetic field lines farther apart indicate a weaker magnetic field. The density of field lines represents the strength of the magnetic field in that region.
Does Ceres have a magnetic field?
No, Ceres does not have a magnetic field around it.
Who discovered the earth's magnetic field?
Van Allen.

How were the reversals of the Earth's magnetic field discovered?
Reversals of the Earth's magnetic field were first discovered through studies of magnetized minerals in rocks that record the orientation of the ancient magnetic field. By examining these rocks, scientists found patterns of magnetic stripes on the ocean floor that indicated periods of magnetic field reversals over Earth's history. These findings were further supported by evidence from deep-sea sediment cores and volcanic rocks.
Who discovered a magnetic field can produce an electric current?
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.
British scientist who discovered that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current?
faraday
British scientist who discovered that a changing magnetic field produces an electric current?
faraday
Who discovered magnetic field of electric current?
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.
The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?
A Magnetic Force
Passing a magnetic field by a wire creates a what?
Passing a wire near a magnetic field induces an electric current in the wire.
