Proponents on the formulation of Electromagnetic Theory
1. George Green was the first person to create a mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism and his theory formed the foundation for the work of other scientists such as James Clerk Maxwell, William Thomson, and others.
2. James Clerk Maxwell, Scottish physicist best known for his formulation of electromagnetic theory. ... Electromagnetism, science of charge and of the forces and fields associated with charge. Electricity and magnetism are two aspects ofelectromagnetism.
3. Michael Faraday (1791-1867) is probably best known for his discovery of electromagnetic induction, his contributions to electrical engineering and electrochemistry or due to the fact that he was responsible for introducing the concept of field in physics to describe electromagnetic interaction. But perhaps it is not so well known that he also made fundamental contributions to the electromagnetic theory of light.
4. J.J. Thomson was born on December 18, 1856, in Cheetham Hill, England, and went on to attend Trinity College at Cambridge, wherehe would come to head the Cavendish Laboratory. His research in cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron, and he pursued further innovations in atomic structure exploration.
5. Joseph Henry (December 17, 1797 - May 13, 1878) was an American scientist and engineer. While building electromagnets, he discovered the electromagnetic phenomenon of self-inductance. He also discovered mutual inductance, independently of Michael Faraday, but Faraday was the first to publish his results.
