One spring day in 1820, during a lecture, the Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted allowed a current from a battery to pass through a platinum wire that lay across a compass – and the compass needle moved! Ørsted had thereby demonstrated the link between electricity and magnetism.
Hans Christian Ørsted is one of Denmark’s greatest natural scientists, and this comic book is being published to mark the 200th anniversary of his discovery of electromagnetism. But Ørsted was also one of the leading cultural figures of the Danish Golden Age and lived in a dramatic time for Denmark. This is the story of his life.
With six reprints and more than 5,700 copies sold so far, »Ørsted. He electrified the world« is the best selling comic of 2020 by a Danish author.
The team behind »Ørsted« has also made The Copenhagen Mystery, a thriller set in Copenhagen telling the history of Physics. This book was published in Spring 2023.
