Maxwell's equations are sort of a big deal in physics. They're how we can model an electromagnetic wave—also known as light. Oh, it's also how most electric generators work and even electric motors.
All of our understanding of electronics hinges on Maxwell’s equations, but not many people know them. Even fewer have an intuitive feel for the equations, and [Ali] wants to help you with that.
Deriving Maxwell’s equations is a math nightmare, but [Arvin] doesn’t do that. He uses some amazing graphics to explain how the equations relate electricity and magnetism.
Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields.
They have found solutions to Maxwell's equations— the equations governing electromagnetism--that precisely describe initial phases required for truly self-bending light.
Maxwell's radical new theory, formally published the following year, was expansive and was only later condensed into the four now-famous equations by one of his followers.
The top equations in astronomy include those describing Newton’s laws, Maxwell’s equations, Einstein’s relativity, and Hubble’s law.
He further added, "We learned from Einstein that Maxwell's equations were relativistic (i.e., invariant under Lorentz transformation) 40 years before relativity.
Predicting earthquakes is one of the biggest challenges in modern earth science. Intermediate and long-term predictions on timescales of between 1 and 100 years are generally based on past records of ...
