Maxwell’s equations are a set of differential equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. They are named after the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who developed them in the 19th century. Maxwell’s equations are fundamental to our understanding of electricity and magnetism, and they have played a major role in the development of many modern technologies, such as power generation, electric motors, and radio.
Maxwell’s equations consist of four partial differential equations: Gauss’s law for electric fields, Gauss’s law for magnetic fields, Faraday’s law of induction, and Ampre’s circuital law with Maxwell’s addition. These equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are created and how they interact with each other. They can be used to predict the behavior of electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves.
