James Clerk Maxwell
Formulated the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation.
Michael Faraday
Discovered electromagnetic induction and the principle behind the electric transformer and generator.
Andre-Marie Ampere
Founded the science of electrodynamics, now known as electromagnetism.
Nikola Tesla
Developed the alternating current (AC) electrical system and contributed to the field of high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments.
Heinrich Hertz
Confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves and studied their properties.
Oliver Heaviside
Formalized the mathematics of Maxwell's theories into the vector calculus that is commonly used today.
Charles-Augustin de Coulomb
Established the inverse square law of attraction and repulsion of unlike and like magnetic poles, which became Coulomb's law.
James Prescott Joule
Studied the nature of heat and discovered the relationship between heat and mechanical work leading to the formulation of the first law of thermodynamics.
Alessandro Volta
Invented the voltaic pile, considered the first electrical battery, which provided a steady current of electricity.
Guglielmo Marconi
Pioneered the development of wireless telegraphy, using radio waves to transmit messages across long distances.
