History of Electromagnetic Theory

Electricity and magnetism are separate phenomena.

• Fact

• Bluff

A changing electric field produces a magnetic field.

• Fact

• Bluff

EM waves are transverse wave.

• Fact

• Bluff

When an oscillating charge accelerates, its electric field changes too.

• Fact

• Bluff

He conducted his own experiments about electromagnetic induction using electromagnets.

• Faraday

• Henry

• Ampere

• Oersted

A moving charge creates a magnetic field.

• Faraday

• Oersted

• Ampere

• Maxwell

The direction of the electric current affects its relative magnetic field. This theory is formulated by ___________.

• Oersted

• Faraday

• Ampere

• Hertz

He said that the current is detected only when the magnet is moving in and out of the coil.

• Maxwell

• Faraday

• Ampere

• Hertz

A changing electric field produces a magnetic filed even in the absence of electric currents.

• Maxwell

• Hertz

• Oersted

• Ampere

Discovered radio waves and verified Maxwell's EM theory.
