Maxwell’s Equations
Introduction Maxwell’s equations are a set of four differential equations that form the foundation of classical electrodynamics, classical optics, and electric circuits. These four equations describe how electric and magnetic fields interact. They were derived by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century. The Four Equations where is the divergence of the electric field ,…

Chapter 4: Gauss’ Law
4.1 Introduction to Gauss’ Law Gauss’ Law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism that relates the net electric flux through a closed surface to the total charge enclosed by that surface. This law helps simplify the calculation of electric fields in situations with symmetry and is crucial in understanding the behavior of electric fields around…

Chapter 3: Electric Flux
3.1 Introduction to Electric Flux Electric flux is a measure of the electric field passing through a given surface. It helps us understand how the electric field interacts with objects and how charges distribute themselves on the surfaces of objects. In this chapter, we will discuss the concept of electric flux in more detail and…

Gauss’s Law
Gauss’s Law is a fundamental principle in the field of electromagnetism, specifically related to electric fields and electric charges. It is one of the four Maxwell’s equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields in various contexts. Gauss’s Law provides a relationship between the electric field produced by a distribution of electric charges…
