You don’t have to know how a car engine works to drive a car — but you can bet all the drivers in the Indy 500 have a better than average understanding of what’s going on under the hood. All of our ...

Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields. So ...

If you hang around with physics people long enough, some­one eventually will bring up Maxwell's equations. Maybe as part of a joke, or on a T-shirt or a tattoo. But they'll be somewhere. So even if ...

Maxwell's equations form the cornerstone of electromagnetic theory, offering a complete description of how electric and magnetic fields interact with matter. In combination with state‐of‐the‐art ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

IN NATURE of February 5, Dr. C. V. Drysdale attempts a simplification of Maxwell's electrodynamic equations, on the grounds that these in their original form are difficult to comprehend and to apply, ...

The physical nature of light is an intriguing scientific mystery as it behaves like a wave in free space and as a particle when it interacts with matter. The theoretical work on light as an ...

You don’t have to know how a car engine works to drive a car — but you can bet all the drivers in the Indy 500 have a better than average understanding of what’s going on under the hood. All of our ...

I know an engineer who never bothered to memorize Ohm’s law. She says that when she needs it, she can always derive it from Maxwell’s equations. On the other hand, despite the fact that I aced my ...
