Ampere (327 words) |
 | Ampère was present at the Académie des Sciences on Sept. 11, 1820, when François Arago performed - for the first time in France - Hans Christian Oersted’s experiment demonstrating the magnetic effects of current-carrying wires on magnetized needles. |
| During September and October 1820, Ampère per-formed a series of experiments designed to elucidate the exact nature of the relationship between electric current-flow and magnetism, as well as the relationships governing the behavior of electric currents in various types of conductors. |
| Ampère’s most detailed report on the events of September and October 1820 was published as a lengthy two-part memoir in the Annales de Chimie et de Physique. |
| Science Quotes (5100 words) |
| Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club. |
| Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science. |
| Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation. |
