Maxwell's laws generally refer to Maxwell's equations, which describe how electric and magnetic

fields interact and propagate. There are four fundamental equations:

Gauss's Law

• It states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to


the charge enclosed within that surface. Mathematically:

∇⋅E=ρ/ϵ0

Gauss's Law for Magnetism

• It states that there are no magnetic monopoles; the total magnetic flux
through a closed surface is zero.
o ∇⋅B=0

Faraday's Law of Induction

• It describes how a changing magnetic field generates an electric field.


o ∇×E=−∂B/∂t

Ampère-Maxwell Law

• It relates magnetic fields to the electric current and the changing electric
field.
o ∇×B=μ0J+μ0ϵ0(∂E/∂t)

Together, these equations form the foundation of classical electromagnetism, describing how
electric and magnetic fields are generated and altered by each other and by charges and
currents
