'''Wilhelm Eduard Weber''' (1804-1891) was a German physicist noted for his contributions to the theory of magnetism.
The son of a professor of theology, Weber was a Christian who excelled in school and became a professor of natural philosophy. But the great mathematician Gauss recommended that Weber switch to physics, which he did. Weber taught that to understand physics it was necessary to conduct experiments.
