•No magnetic monopole, hence no magnetic current•Electric fields and magnetic fields induce in opposite fashions

Maxwell’s EquationsIf we combine all the laws we know about electromagnetism, thenwe obtain Maxwell’s equations.

These four equations plus a force law form the basis for all of electromagnetism!

Thesbe laws predict that accelerating charges will radiate electromagnetic waves!

The fact that classical models of the atom contradicted Maxwell’s equations motivated quantum mechanics.

Gauss’s laws, Ampere’s law and Faraday’s law all combined!

They are nearly symmetric with respect to magnetism and electricity.

The lack of magnetic monopoles is the main reasonwhy they are not completely symmetric.

Derivatives and Partial Derivatives•When you have multiple variables, and you need to take the derivative, you use a partial derivative•Partial derivatives are like ordinary derivatives, but all other variables are treated as constants•{We have done this before; remember the gradient}
