A current-carrying conductor would move when placed in a magnetic field was discovered by?
Answer: Andre Ampere
Explanation
Andre-Marie Ampere discovered that a current-carrying conductor experiences a force when placed in a magnetic field.
This forms the basis of electromagnetism and is the principle behind electric motors.
