Science Discoveries

  • A French scientist named André-Marie Ampère made an important discovery. He found that wires carrying electric current can pull towards each other or push away from each other. This is called electromagnetism. It showed a strong connection between electricity and magnetism.
  • Building on Ampère's work, scientists developed a new law. This law explained how electric current creates a magnetic field around it. These discoveries were a big step forward in understanding how electricity and magnetism work together.
