Maxwell Equations:
James Clerk Maxwell was the mathematician who between 1861 and 1862 represented these four
equations. He also first used the equations to propose that light is an electromagnetic phenomenon.
Maxwell's equations are a set of four differential equations that form the theoretical basis for describing
classical electromagnetism. These four equations are explained below.
1. Gauss Law:
There are two types of charge, positive and negative, just as there are two types of real numbers, positive
and negative. Electric field lines diverge from positive charge and converge on negative charge. The
relation of this law is given as.

∇ . E=
ε0
2. Gauss Law for Magnetism:
There is no magnetic monopole. Magnetic field lines neither converge nor diverge. The relation of this
law is given as.
∇ . B=0
3. Faraday’ s Law:
This law states that when the magnetic flux linking a circuit changes, an electromotive force is induced in
the circuit proportional to the rate of change of the flux linkage. The relation for this law is given as.
−∂ B
∇ × E=
∂t
4. Ampere’ s Law:
Magnetic field lines curl around electric current in Ampere’s law. Right hand rule is also used in this law.
The relation for this law is given as.
∂E
∇ × B=μ 0 ε 0 +μ0 J
∂t
Maxwell Equations and Wireless Communication:
Maxwell's Equations are critical in understanding Antennas and Electromagnetism. These equations are
the basics for radio and satellite communication. These equations provide a mathematical model for
electric, optical, and radio technologies, such as power generation, electric motors, wireless
communication, lenses, radar etc. These equations describe that how electric and magnetic fields are
generated by currents, charges and the changing of fields.
