2. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

   The term "Maxwell's equations" is often also used for equivalent alternative formulations. Versions of Maxwell's equations based on the electric and magnetic scalar potentials are preferred for explicitly solving the equations as a boundary value problem, analytical mechanics, or for use in quantum mechanics.

3. The Maxwellians - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maxwellians

   The Maxwellians is a book by Bruce J. Hunt, published in 1991 by Cornell University Press; a paperback edition appeared in 1994, and the book was reissued in 2005.It chronicles the development of electromagnetic theory in the years after the publication of A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism by James Clerk Maxwell.

4. On Physical Lines of Force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Physical_Lines_of_Force

   In it, Maxwell derived the equations of electromagnetism in conjunction with a "sea" of "molecular vortices" which he used to model Faraday's lines of force. Maxwell had studied and commented on the field of electricity and magnetism as early as 1855/56 when "On Faraday's Lines of Force" [ 2 ] was read to the Cambridge Philosophical Society .

   Another of Heaviside's four equations is an amalgamation of Maxwell's law of total currents (equation "A") with Ampère's circuital law (equation "C"). This amalgamation, which Maxwell himself had actually originally made at equation (112) in "On Physical Lines of Force", is the one that modifies Ampère's Circuital Law to include Maxwell's ...

7. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

   In free space, where ε = ε 0 and μ = μ 0 are constant everywhere, Maxwell's equations simplify considerably once the language of differential geometry and differential forms is used. The electric and magnetic fields are now jointly described by a 2-form F in a 4-dimensional spacetime manifold.

8. History of Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Maxwell's_equations

   [24] [25] Maxwell deals with the motion-related aspect of electromagnetic induction, v × B, in equation (77), which is the same as equation (D) in Maxwell's original equations as listed below. It is expressed today as the force law equation, F = q ( E + v × B ) , which sits adjacent to Maxwell's equations and bears the name Lorentz force ...

9. Covariant formulation of classical electromagnetism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant_formulation_of...

   The covariant formulation of classical electromagnetism refers to ways of writing the laws of classical electromagnetism (in particular, Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force) in a form that is manifestly invariant under Lorentz transformations, in the formalism of special relativity using rectilinear inertial coordinate systems.
