Orsted's Birthday

Through Google Doodle ,I came to know that August 14th is the birthday of Danish scientist Hans Christian Øersted . Øersted was best known for discovery of electric current can induce magnetic fields. This led to the field of Electromagnetism. Honestly I had forgotten about Øersted totally. Thanks to google for making million of Internet users to celebrate the birthday of great scientist.

I really admire all the great scientists , for making all of our lives comfortable . Øersted was one among them. I treat the scientists as GOD for contributing towards betterment of mankind.

Internet has made possible to replicate the experiment which Øersted carried out to demonstrate the significance of magnetic field around a copper wire when electric current was passed through .http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/education/tutorials/java/oersted/index.html
