Wilhelm Weber

Wilhelm Weber was a 19th-century German physicist renowned for his pioneering work in electromagnetism and experimental physics. He collaborated with Carl Friedrich Gauss to develop precise methods for measuring electric and magnetic forces, leading to important discoveries about Earth's magnetic field. Weber also created the first electromagnetic telegraph and contributed to understanding electrical currents' behavior. His research laid foundational principles for modern electromagnetism and communication technologies, making him a key figure in advancing scientific knowledge about electric and magnetic phenomena.
