Jun 6, 2024 · André-Marie Ampère (born January 20, 1775, Lyon, France—died June 10, 1836, Marseille) was a French physicist who founded and named the science of electrodynamics, now known as electromagnetism. His name endures in everyday life in the ampere, the unit for measuring electric current.
André Marie Ampère, (born Jan. 22, 1775, Lyon, France—died June 10, 1836, Marseille), French physicist, founder of the science of electromagnetism. A prodigy who mastered the entire known field of mathematics by age 12, he became a professor of physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
André-Marie Ampère made the revolutionary discovery that a wire carrying electric current can attract or repel another wire next to it that's also carrying electric current. The attraction is magnetic, but no magnets are necessary for the effect to be seen.
