Andre Marie Ampere (January 22, 1775-June 10, 1836) was a French electrician and scientific writer. He discovered the relationship between magnetism and electricity, and defined a unit to measure the strength of an electric current. (Amperes equals volts divided by ohms.) Ampere wrote on a piece of paper before his death:
<Believe in God, in His providence, in a future life, in the recompense of the good; in the punishment of the wicked; in the sublimity and truth of the doctrines of Christ, in a revelation of this doctrine by a special divine inspiration for the salvation of the human race.> 1775AA001
