Photographic Print : Ampere and Arago, French physicists
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Ampere and Arago, French physicists
Ampere and Arago. Historical artwork of the French physicists Andre-Marie Ampere (1775-1836, left) and Francois Arago (1786-1853) studying electromagnetism. Arago is holding two conducting keys near to a compass needle and observing the deflection caused. This experiment, performed at the Academie des Sciences in 1820, was a repeat of the experiment done by the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted earlier that year. It led Ampere to conclude that magnetism was electricity in motion. As part of his report, Ampere detailed the forces between two parallel conducting wires. This SI unit of electrical current, named the Ampere in his honour, is based on these forces

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French physicists, Ampere and Arago, engrossed in their groundbreaking study of electromagnetism. Captured in this historical artwork, Andre-Marie Ampere and Francois Arago are depicted at the Academie des Sciences in 1820, meticulously conducting an experiment that would revolutionize our understanding of magnetism and electricity. Intriguingly, Arago can be seen holding two conducting keys near a compass needle while observing its deflection. This experiment was inspired by Hans Christian Oersted's earlier discovery that led Ampere to conclude that magnetism is essentially electricity in motion. As part of his report on this significant breakthrough, Ampere delved into the forces between parallel conducting wires. The impact of their research was so profound that it resulted in the establishment of a new SI unit for electrical current - aptly named the Ampere - as a tribute to Andre-Marie Ampere's contributions to science. This remarkable image not only captures the duo's dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries but also serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within the field of physics. With its rich historical context and scientific significance, this print from Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into one of humanity's most pivotal moments in understanding electromagnetism.
