The most important electrical effects, particularly the magnetic effects of electricity, were primarily discovered by Hans Christian Ørsted in 1820. Ørsted demonstrated that an electric current flowing through a wire creates a magnetic field, which was a pivotal moment in the understanding of electromagnetism. This discovery laid the groundwork for further developments by scientists such as André-Marie Ampère and James Clerk Maxwell, who expanded on these concepts.
