Maxwell's
Equations describe how electric and magnetic fields
behave, and how they're related to each other. At least, that's the
information they contain (they're a bit cryptic though). They are the
following four equations:
| ∇·E | = | ρ | | | ∇×B | = | (1/c)j + (1/c)(∂E/∂t) | | | ∇·B | = | 0 | | | ∇×E | = | -(1/c)(∂B/∂t) | |
where
ρ is charge density, j
is current density, E
is the electric field and B
is the magnetic field (a.k.a. magnetic flux density).
