The magnetic effect of electric current, also known as electromagnetism, occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor, like a wire, generating a magnetic field around it. This was discovered by Hans Christian Ørsted in 1820. The strength of the magnetic field depends on the amount of current and the shape of the conductor.

For example, coiling the wire can increase the magnetic effect, creating an electromagnet. This principle is used in many everyday devices, such as electric motors, generators, and transformers, where electric current is used to produce controlled magnetic fields to perform various functions.
