SECTION 1 
 
William Gilbert and Magnetism 
 

16th and 17th centuries saw two great pioneers of modem science: Galileo and 
Gilbert. The impact of their findings is eminent. Gilbert was the first modem scientist, 
also the accredited father of the science of electricity and magnetism, an Englishman 
of learning and a physician at the court of Elizabeth. Prior to him, all that was known of 
electricity and magnetism was what the ancients knew, nothing more than that the : 
lodestone possessed magnetic properties and that amber and jet, when rubbed, would 
attract bits of paper or other substances of small specific gravity. However, he is less 
well-known than he deserves. 

Gilbert’s birth predated Galileo. Born in an eminent local family in Colchester county 
in the UK, on May 24

1544

he went to grammar school, and then studied medicine 
at St. John’s College, Cambridge, graduating in 1573. Later he traveled in the continent 
and eventually settled down in London. 

He was a very successful and eminent doctor. All this culminated in his election to 
the president of the Royal Science Society. He was also appointed the personal 
physician to the Queen (Elizabeth I) 

and later knighted by the Queen. He faithfully 
served h
er until her death. However, he didn’t outlive the Queen for long and died on 
December 10, 1603, only a few months after his appointment as personal physician to 
King James. 

Gilbert was first interested in chemistry but later changed his focus due to the large 
portion of mysticism of alchemy involved (such as the transmutation of metal). He 
gradually developed his interest in physics after the great minds of the ancient,
