摘要

In this book, you will learn about 100 applications of Maxwell's equations—or correctly named Maxwell–Heaviside equations. James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was a Scottish physicist considered the father of electromagnetism. Electromagnetism indicates the interaction between electric and magnetic fields. Maxwell's equations comprise Gauss's Law for electric fields, Gauss's Law for magnetic fields, Faraday's Law, and Ampere's Law with Maxwell's contribution of the displacement current. Maxwell originally expressed the theory of electromagnetic fields as 20 equations. It was English mathematician and physicist Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925) who condensed those to the current four equation form. Hence, in full, we call those Maxwell–Heaviside equations.
