A. Ampere
Panel 1: A scientist, André-Marie Ampère, sits in his study, surrounded by wires and compasses. He's scribbling furiously in a notebook.
Panel 2: A thought bubble above Ampère's head shows two parallel wires, one with current flowing through it, attracting the other wire.
Panel 3: Ampère holds up a compass, its needle deflected by the current flowing in a nearby wire.
Panel 4: Ampère proudly presents his findings: "I have discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism! The strength of the force between two wires depends on the current flowing through them!"
B. Faraday
Panel 1: Michael Faraday, a young scientist, sits mesmerized watching a demonstration of electromagnetism. A coil of wire is wrapped around an iron core, and when connected to a battery, it creates a magnetic field.
Panel 2: Faraday, inspired, experiments with a coil of wire and a magnet. He moves the magnet in and out of the coil, and to his amazement, a current flows through the wire.
Panel 3: Faraday sketches his findings: "A changing magnetic field induces an electric current!" This discovery leads to the invention of the electric generator.
Panel 4: Faraday's invention revolutionizes the world, bringing electricity to homes and businesses.
C. Hertz
Panel 1: Heinrich Hertz sits in his lab, surrounded by complex electrical equipment. He's working on a theory proposed by James Clerk Maxwell, that light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
Panel 2: Hertz creates a device that generates radio waves, proving Maxwell's theory correct. He uses a spark gap transmitter and receiver to detect the waves.
Panel 3: Hertz's experiments open the door to wireless communication, paving the way for radio, television, and even mobile phones.
Panel 4: Hertz's discovery revolutionizes communication, allowing us to connect across continents and even to space.
D. Maxwell
Panel 1: James Clerk Maxwell, a brilliant physicist, sits in his study, surrounded by equations and diagrams. He's working on unifying electricity and magnetism.
Panel 2: Maxwell imagines lines of force emanating from a magnet, interacting with electric fields. He realizes that light is a wave composed of these interacting fields.
Panel 3: Maxwell presents his theory: "Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light and can be generated by accelerating charges!" This theory predicts the existence of radio waves.
Panel 4: Maxwell's revolutionary theory lays the foundation for the entire field of electromagnetism, influencing generations of scientists.
E. Oersted
Panel 1: Hans Christian Oersted, a professor of physics, conducts a lecture demonstration on electricity. He sets up a wire carrying a current near a compass.
Panel 2: The compass needle, to Oersted's surprise, deflects from its north-south alignment, pointing perpendicular to the wire carrying current.
Panel 3: Oersted realizes that electricity creates a magnetic field! This discovery marks a pivotal moment in understanding the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
Panel 4: Oersted's discovery paves the way for future scientists, like Ampere and Faraday, to explore the relationship between these forces.
