In the world of science, there are so many great scientists. Two of them were Isaac Newton and Andre Marie Ampere. They are two inventors in the field of Physics.
Isaac Newton, The Most Popular Inventor
The story circulating in the community about Isaac Newton is that at that time Newton was sitting on an apple tree, then an apple fell on it. The fall of the apple made Newton aware of the force of gravity. However, Newton was not only known for that.
Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England on Christmas Day in 1642. As a boy, he demonstrated his prowess in mechanics and was very skilled.
However, his mother, who hoped that Newton could become a farmer, kicked him out of school. Newton also managed to persuade his mother to be able to continue school because he thought that his talent was not to be a farmer. He also returned to school, even entered the University of Cambridge.
His brilliance was increasingly visible, Newton absorbed all the knowledge of mathematics and knowledge of Physics quickly.
At the age of twenty-one to twenty-seven, Newton had laid the foundations of thinking about Integral Calculus as a mathematical problem solving that is currently used by many people.
Newton's other ability is the discovery of the refraction of light. In the past, people thought that the sun's light was white, but Newton brushed off this assumption and came up with his own opinion with definitive research. He said that light is made up of seven colors, like a Rainbow.
His formulation of the refraction of light also led to advances in the creation of binoculars, lenses, and other things related to lighting. The thing that Newton is most familiar with is his formulation of motion, including the motion of Gravity.
Therefore, thanks to the calculations and formulas found by Newton, all forms of movement in the universe, including the movement of celestial bodies, can be predicted. Inevitably, Isaac Newton was the greatest inventor of all time.
Andre Marie Ampere, "The Newton of Electricity"
In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851), a Professor of Physics at Copenhagen, demonstrated the relationship between electricity and magnetism in front of his students. When he placed a compass needle near a wire that was conducting an electric current, it turned out that the compass needle was rotating.
Oersted, who believes that everything in the universe is interconnected, was delighted to know that electricity and magnetism originate in the same current.
After hearing of Oersted's discovery. Andre Marie Ampere (1775-1836), a physicist from Paris rushed to test the discovery with his own experiments. Ampere argued that if a current and a magnet where to affect each other, the same thing would happen to the two currents.
In his experiments, Ampere found that the two currents also act on each other. Finally, Ampere concluded that magnetism is an electric phenomenon.
In a letter to his son, Ampere wrote that they had discovered a theory about magnetism that could reduce all magnetic phenomena to electric current.
The discovery, according to Ampere, contradicts the opinion of previous people. Ampere actually imagines that magnets have small currents in them that rotate each other, then produce a magnetic force so that they attract each other.
Based on these experiments, he formulated that the force between two current pieces are short, this formula became known as Ampere's law. According to this equation, Maxwell Ampere is dubbed as "electric Newtonnya".
