This post is a list of Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism. James Clerk Maxwell published an early form of these equations in 1861. There are 4 equations listed below.
1. Gauss's law
"Gauss's law... [relates] the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field." (Wikipedia: Gauss's law, 9.10.20)
2. Gauss's law for magnetism
"[Gauss's law for magnetism] states that the magnetic field has divergence equal to zero... It is equivalent to the statement that magnetic monopoles do not exist." (Wikipedia: Gauss's law for magnetism, 9.10.20)
3. Faraday's law of induction
"Faraday's law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force..." (Wikipedia: Faraday's law of induction, 9.10.20)
4. Ampere's law
"Ampere's law... relates the integrated magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current passing through the loop." (Wikipedia: Ampere's circuital law, 9.10.20)
