A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field

ID: a-dynamical-theory-of-the-electromagnetic-field

"A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" is a seminal paper written by the physicist James Clerk Maxwell, published in 1865. In this work, Maxwell formulated what is now known as Maxwell's equations, which describe how electric and magnetic fields interact and propagate through space. Maxwell's contributions unified previously separate laws of electricity and magnetism into a coherent theory, showing that electric fields and magnetic fields are interrelated and can influence each other.
