Formulated the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation.

Discovered electromagnetic induction and the principle behind the electric transformer and generator.

Founded the science of electrodynamics, now known as electromagnetism.

Developed the alternating current (AC) electrical system and contributed to the field of high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments.

Confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves and studied their properties.

Formalized the mathematics of Maxwell's theories into the vector calculus that is commonly used today.

Established the inverse square law of attraction and repulsion of unlike and like magnetic poles, which became Coulomb's law.

Studied the nature of heat and discovered the relationship between heat and mechanical work leading to the formulation of the first law of thermodynamics.

Invented the voltaic pile, considered the first electrical battery, which provided a steady current of electricity.
