Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851), a pioneering Danish physicist and chemist, is best known for his groundbreaking discovery of electromagnetism in 1820. In this historic moment, Oersted demonstrated the connection between electricity and magnetism by showing his friends how an electric current deflected a magnetic needle. This discovery, depicted in various illustrations from the 1820s to the late 1800s, revolutionized scientific understanding and paved the way for the development of electromagnetic theory. Oersted's legacy continues to inspire scientists and innovators around the world.
