  2. André Marie Ampère, (born Jan. 22, 1775, Lyon, France—died June 10, 1836, Marseille), French physicist, founder of the science of electromagnetism. A prodigy who mastered the entire known field of mathematics by age 12, he became a professor of physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

  3. v. t. e. André-Marie Ampère ( UK: / ˈɒ̃pɛər, ˈæmpɛər /, US: / ˈæmpɪər /, [1] French: [ɑ̃dʁe maʁi ɑ̃pɛʁ]; 20 January 1775 – 10 June 1836) [2] was a French physicist and mathematician who was one of the founders of the science of classical electromagnetism, which he referred to as "electrodynamics".

    • FRS (1827)
  4. André-Marie Ampère’s Contributions to Science Electromagnetism and Electrodynamics. In 1800, while Ampère worked as a private tutor in Lyon, Alessandro Volta had invented the electric battery. One result of this was that for the first time ever, scientists could produce a steady electric current.

    • #1 HE RECOGNIZED THE EXISTENCE OF THE ELEMENT FLUORINE. In 1810, Andre-Marie Ampere proposed that hydrofluoric acid was a compound of hydrogen and an unknown element, whose properties, he said, were similar to chlorine.
    • #2 HE IDENTIFIED THAT CHEMICAL ELEMENTS SHOULD BE ORGANIZED ACCORDING TO THEIR PROPERTIES. In 1816, Ampere proposed that chemical elements should be listed according to their properties.
    • #3 HE DEVISED THE RIGHT-HAND GRIP RULE. In April 1820, Danish scientist Hans Christian Oersted discovered that a flow of electric current in a wire deflected a nearby magnetic needle.
    • #4 He WAS THE FIRST TO DISCOVER THAT MAGNETISM COULD BE PRODUCED WITHOUT MAGNETS. Oersted found the first connection between electricity and magnetism in April 1820.
  5. Jan 20, 2013 · Quick Info. Born. 20 January 1775. Lyon, France. Died. 10 June 1836. Marseilles, France. Summary. André-Marie Ampère made important contributions to the theory of Electricity and magnetism. His theory became fundamental for 19th century developments. View ten larger pictures. Biography.

  6. His contributions laid the groundwork upon which the science of electrodynamics (a term coined by Ampère, but now more commonly referred to as electromagnetics) has been built. Ampère was a native of Lyon, France, born January 22, 1775. As a child, he proved prodigious in mathematics.

  7. André-Marie Ampère (January 20 1775 – June 10 1836), was a French physicist who first demonstrated that two current-carrying wires exert a force on one another, and worked out the mathematical expressions that account for this phenomenon.
