Detailed Solution

  • Hans Christian Oersted was the first person who noticed the deflection of the compass needle every time the electric current was passed through the conducting wire. 
  • So, when an electric current passes through a wire, it behaves like a magnet. This is the magnetic effect of the electric current.

Therefore, we can say that Hans Christian Oersted discovered the magnetic effect of the electric current.
