SWhat changed
Electricity and magnetism became experimentally linked, opening a new unified research track.
Scientific scope
The 1820 observation and pamphlet; not Ampere's electrodynamics, Faraday's induction, field theory or electrical technology.
Evidence
The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The record covers the 1820 observation and pamphlet, not Ampere’s electrodynamics or Maxwell’s later field theory.
