Question

Magnetic effects of current were discovered by

  1. Faraday
  2. Oersted
  3. Ampere
  4. Joule

hintHint:

Magnetic effects of current were discovered by Oersted.

The correct answer is: Oersted


    • Hans Christian Oersted made the discovery of the magnetic effect of an electric current in 1820.
    • By placing a compass near a long, straight wire carrying electricity and observing its deflection, he showed how the effect works.
    • The compass needle was also deflected in the other direction by changing the current's direction.
