Maxwell's equations are a set of four fundamental equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. These equations were formulated by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century and are a cornerstone of classical electromagnetism. The four equations are:
1. Gauss's law for electric fields: ∇ · E = ρ/ε₀
This equation relates the divergence of the electric field (∇ · E) to the charge density (ρ) and the electric constant (ε₀).
2. Gauss's law for magnetic fields: ∇ · B = 0
This equation states that the divergence of the magnetic field (∇ · B) is always zero.
3. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction: ∇ × E = -∂B/∂t
This equation describes how a changing magnetic field induces an electric field. The curl of the electric field (∇× E) is equal to the negative rate of change of the magnetic field with respect to time (-∂B/∂t).
4. Ampère's law with Maxwell's addition: ∇ × B = μ₀J + μ₀ε₀∂E/∂t This equation relates the curl of the magnetic field (∇× B) to the current density (J), the magnetic constant (μ₀), and the rate of change of the electric field with respect to time (∂E/∂t). Maxwell's addition
includes the term μ₀ε₀∂E/∂t, which accounts for the displacement current in the case of changing electric fields.
These equations form a complete set of equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields in the presence of charges and currents. They are used to analyze and predict the behavior of electromagnetic waves, circuits, and other electromagnetic phenomena.。
