Johann S. Schweigger was a German chemist and physicist who invented the first galvanometer, a tool for measuring the strength and direction of electric current. Schweigger was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1779.
Johann Salomo Christoph Schweigger was a German chemist, physicist, and professor of mathematics born in Erlangen. In 1811, he proposed the name "Chlorine" for the substance discovered in 1774 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele and properly identified by Humphry Davy as an element in 1810.
Spurred by Hans Christian Ørsted's discovery of a relationship between electricity and magnetism, German chemist Julian Schweigger immediately began tinkering and soon came up with a very early galvanometer known as the Schweigger multiplier.
German mathematician and physicist Johann Schweigger builds what he terms a multiplier that could greatly amplify the magnetism of an electrical circuit. Schweigger’s multiplier became the first accurate device capable of detecting and measuring very small amounts of electricity, eventually coming to be known as the galvanometer.
