In
the later half of the nineteenth century, Maxwell demonstrated that all
previously established experimental facts regarding electric and magnetic fields could be summed up in just four equations. Nowadays these equations are
generally known as Maxwell’s equation. Maxwell did not proved the equations. He
only gave above opinion and some mathematical verification and modification of
others. These equations can be represented as integral and differential form.
Let’s
go
Here,
H= magnetic field strength
E= electric field intensity
J= conduction current density
D= electric flux density
B= magnetic flux density
ρv = volume
charge density
dL is the differential length and dS is the
differential area whose direction is always outward normal to the surface.
When
the field are static all field terms which have time derivatives become zero, that is:
dB/dt = 0
dD/ dt = 0
So
the Maxwell’s equation’s for static fields become:
Now
we know the characteristics of free space that:
Relative
permittivity ϵr = 1
Relative
permeability µr = 1
Conductivity
σ =
0
Conduction
current density J = 0
Volume
charge density ρv = 0
Characteristics
impedance = 377Ω or 120π
So the Maxwell’s equation’s for the free space
but no static field become
Differential form Integral from
Also the Maxwell’s equation’s for the free space with
static field become:
