He was appointed professor of physics at the University of Copenhagen in 1806. In 1819 he discovered that a magnetic needle is deflected at right angles to a wire carrying an electric current, thus initiating the study of electromagnetism. He was also the first to isolate (1825) aluminum. His Manual of Mechanical Physics appeared in 1844.
