Maxwell's Four Partial Differential Equations

1. Gauss's Law for Electricity

Equation:
E=0\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}
English: The electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the electric charge enclosed.
:

2. Gauss's Law for Magnetism

Equation:
B=0\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0
English: The net magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero, indicating that magnetic
monopoles do not exist.

3. Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

Equation:
×E=Bt\nabla \times \mathbf{E} = -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}
English: A changing magnetic field induces a circulating electric field.

4. Ampère's Law (with Maxwell's Correction)

Equation:
×B=0J+00Et\nabla \times \mathbf{B} = \mu_0 \mathbf{J} + \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial
\mathbf{E}}{\partial t}
English: Electric currents and changing electric fields generate magnetic fields.
