SUMMARY

Andre-Marie Ampere and Gustav Kirchhoff significantly advanced the field of electromagnetism through their foundational discoveries. Ampere formulated Ampere's Law, which quantifies the relationship between electric current and magnetic fields, while Kirchhoff established Kirchhoff's circuit laws, essential for analyzing electrical circuits. Their work laid the groundwork for modern electrical engineering and technologies such as electric motors and circuit design. Both scientists utilized experimental methods and mathematical formulations to derive their principles, which continue to influence contemporary innovations.
