Maxwell's equations
Statement
Maxwell's equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated by charges and currents, and how they propagate as electromagnetic waves at the speed of light.
Formula
Gauss's law, Faraday's law, Gauss's law for magnetism, Ampère's law
Equation
∇·E=ρ/ε₀, ∇×E=-∂B/∂t, ∇·B=0, ∇×B=μ₀J+μ₀ε₀∂E/∂t
