  2. 1864 – James Clerk Maxwell publishes his papers on a dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field; 1865 – James Clerk Maxwell publishes his landmark paper A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field, in which Maxwell's equations demonstrated that electric and magnetic forces are two complementary aspects of electromagnetism.

  3. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    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 .

  4. Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

    This page lists examples of magnetic induction B in teslas and gauss produced by various sources, grouped by orders of magnitude.. The magnetic flux density does not measure how strong a magnetic field is, but only how strong the magnetic flux is in a given point or at a given distance (usually right above the magnet's surface).

  5. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    James Clerk Maxwell drew attention to this fact in his 1861 paper On Physical Lines of Force. [33] In the latter half of Part II of that paper, Maxwell gives a separate physical explanation for each of the two phenomena. A reference to these two aspects of electromagnetic induction is made in some modern textbooks. [34] As Richard Feynman states:

  6. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    [22] [23] This is believed to be a unique example in physics of where such a fundamental law is invoked to explain two such different phenomena. [ 24 ] Albert Einstein noticed that the two situations both corresponded to a relative movement between a conductor and a magnet, and the outcome was unaffected by which one was moving.

  7. History of Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Maxwell's_equations

    The four equations we use today appeared separately in Maxwell's 1861 paper, On Physical Lines of Force: Equation (56) in Maxwell's 1861 paper is Gauss's law for magnetism, ∇ • B = 0. Equation (112) is Ampère's circuital law, with Maxwell's addition of displacement current.

  8. Classical electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_electromagnetism

    Classical electromagnetism or classical electrodynamics is a branch of physics focused on the study of interactions between electric charges and currents using an extension of the classical Newtonian model. It is, therefore, a classical field theory.

  9. RKKY interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKKY_interaction

    The RKKY interaction is a long-range interaction between magnetic moments in a metal. The energy oscillates with distance, decaying as .The oscillations are caused by the interaction of the magnetic moments with the conduction electrons in the metal.
