Gauss's Law for Magnetism

The divergence of a magnetic field (B) is zero. The total magnetic field entering a closed surface equals the total magnetic field leaving that surface.

Ampere-Maxwell's Law

The circulation of magnetic field (H) around a closed path is equal to the enclosed current plus the rate of change of electric flux.

Faraday's Law of Induction

A changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a closed loop, which opposes the change in flux.

Maxwell's Equations

A set of four equations that summarize all of electromagnetism, describing the relationship between electric and magnetic fields.

Circulation of H

The line integral of the magnetic field intensity (H) around a closed loop is equal to the current enclosed by the loop plus the rate of change of electric flux through the loop.

Source-Free Space

A region where there are no sources of electric charge or current. In this scenario, Maxwell's equations simplify, leading to solutions representing waves that propagate without being affected by charges or currents. These waves are often called free space waves because they are traveling in a space where there are no charges or currents to affect them.

What does 'curl left and right sides' mean?

This involves applying the curl operator to both sides of the equation describing the propagation of electromagnetic waves. This process is important in deriving the wave equation. The curl of a vector field describes the rotation of the field at a particular point, and this operation helps to reveal the relationship between the electric and magnetic fields in a wave.
