Question

What is Magnetic effect of electric current? Name the scientist who have given this concept.

Answer 1

Answer:

The term 'magnetic effect of electric current' means that an electric current flowing in a wire produces a magnetic field around it .

Hans Christian Ørsted gave the concept of this.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Oersted's law is the law that a steady electric current creates a magnetic field around it. This was discovered on April 21, 1820, by Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted(1777–1851), when he noticed that the needle of a compass next to a wire carrying current turned.

Magnetic effect of electric current is one of the major effects which functions as the basic principle in appliances used in various fields of activities. The magnetic field around a current carrying conductor can be depicted by using magnetic field lines which are represented in the form of concentric circles around it. The direction of magnetic field through a current carrying conductor is determined by the direction of flow of electric current.
