Description
Plaster statue of Hans Christian Oersted. Figure is standing next to a pillar holding a piece of string connected to an instrument. Inscription to base front. Oersted was a Danish physicist, who in 1820 discovered that electricity and magnetism were related phenomena. This discovery laid the foundation for the theory of electromagnetism, and for the research that later created technologies such as radio, television and fibre optics. This is a reduced copy of original statue by Jens Adolf Jerichau, located in the court of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
