Physics ERT: Electro Magnetism
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to outline the background and personal information regarding Ernest Orlando Lawrence and Andre-Marie Ampere. Accurate details of experimental procedures and results obtained by these Physicists will be discussed and analysed. Lawrence’s Cyclotron and his influence on high energy physics and Ampere’s contributions to the field of electrodynamics will be deliberated along with a reasoned decision as to which scientist made the greater contribution to Science (ERT, 2012).
Background and Personal Information
Ernest Orlando Lawrence
Ernest Orlando Lawrence was born in Canton, South Dakota to parents, Carl Gustavus and Gunda Lawrence.
He began his education at Canton High School followed by St. Olaf College.
