The second of Maxwell's equations is known as Gauss's law for magnetism and, similarly to the first Gauss's law, it describes flux, but instead of electric flux, it describes magnetic flux. According to Gauss's law for magnetism, the flow of magnetic field through a closed surface is always zero.
In three dimensions, the derivative has a special structure allowing the introduction of a cross product: = + = + from which it is easily seen that Gauss's law is the scalar part, the Ampère–Maxwell law is the vector part, Faraday's law is the pseudovector part, and Gauss's law for magnetism is the pseudoscalar part of the equation.
The theory of special relativity plays an important role in the modern theory of classical electromagnetism.It gives formulas for how electromagnetic objects, in particular the electric and magnetic fields, are altered under a Lorentz transformation from one inertial frame of reference to another.
Investigation into electromagnetic phenomena began about 5,000 years ago. There is evidence that the ancient Chinese, [1] Mayan, [2] [3] and potentially even Egyptian civilizations knew that the naturally magnetic mineral magnetite had attractive properties, and many incorporated it into their art and architecture.

It instructed a task force to study the question in readiness for the next meeting. [ 9 ] In 1930, TC1 decided that the magnetic field strength ( H ) is of a different nature from the magnetic flux density ( B ), [ 9 ] and took up the question of naming the units for these fields and related quantities, among them the integral of magnetic flux ...
Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other. Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism .
The third book in the Yarros’ “Empyrean” series comes out in January from Entangled Publishing. The follow-up to “Fourth Wing” and “Iron Flame” swaps Basgiath War College lessons for ...
In physics, specifically electromagnetism, the magnetic flux through a surface is the surface integral of the normal component of the magnetic field B over that surface. It is usually denoted Φ or Φ B.
