In 1864 James Clerk Maxwell of Edinburgh announced his electromagnetic theory of light, which was perhaps the greatest single step in the world's knowledge of electricity. [123] Maxwell had studied and commented on the field of electricity and magnetism as early as 1855/6 when On Faraday's lines of force [124] was read to the Cambridge ...
Statue of James Clerk Maxwell, George Street, Edinburgh. The James Clerk Maxwell Foundation is a registered Scottish charity [1] set up in 1977. By supporting physics and mathematics, it honors one of the greatest physicists, James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879), [2] and while attempting to increase the public awareness and trust of science.
"On Physical Lines of Force" is a four-part paper written by James Clerk Maxwell, published in 1861. [1] 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.
