James Clerk Maxwell

ID: james-clerk-maxwell

James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was a Scottish physicist and mathematician renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to the fields of electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and kinetic theory. He is perhaps best known for formulating Maxwell's equations, which describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with matter. These equations unified the previously separate fields of electricity and magnetism into a single coherent theory known as electromagnetism.
