This is about the history of electromagnetism. I already know about the convention that defined which electric charge is the "positive" one, which ended up making the electron a negative particle.
But what about the "positive" direction of the magnetic field? Does anybody here know
how it was arbitrated, and who did it? Specifically, did it come before the equation relating it to electric charges? Or was the direction defined by the equation itself?
Thank you in advance!
