  2. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    The equivalence of Faraday's law in differential and integral form follows likewise. The line integrals and curls are analogous to quantities in classical fluid dynamics : the circulation of a fluid is the line integral of the fluid's flow velocity field around a closed loop, and the vorticity of the fluid is the curl of the velocity field.

  3. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Faraday's law describes two different phenomena: the motional emf generated by a magnetic force on a moving wire (see Lorentz force), and the transformer emf that is generated by an electric force due to a changing magnetic field (due to the differential form of the Maxwell–Faraday equation).

  4. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    In three dimensions, the derivative has a special structure allowing the introduction of a cross product: = + = + from which it is easily seen that Gauss's law is the scalar part, the Ampère–Maxwell law is the vector part, Faraday's law is the pseudovector part, and Gauss's law for magnetism is the pseudoscalar part of the equation.

  5. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (emf). This phenomenon, known as electromagnetic induction , is the fundamental operating principle of transformers , inductors , and many types of electric ...

  6. Interface conditions for electromagnetic fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_conditions_for...

    The differential forms of these equations require that there is always an open neighbourhood around the point to which they are applied, otherwise the vector fields and H are not differentiable. In other words, the medium must be continuous[no need to be continuous][This paragraph need to be revised, the wrong concept of "continuous" need to be ...

    Substituting into yields the familiar differential form of the Maxwell-Ampère law. Equation (D) implicitly contains the Lorentz force law and the differential form of Faraday's law of induction . For a static magnetic field, ∂ A / ∂ t {\displaystyle \partial \mathbf {A} /\partial t} vanishes, and the electric field E becomes conservative ...

  8. Electromagnetic tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_tensor

    The electromagnetic tensor, conventionally labelled F, is defined as the exterior derivative of the electromagnetic four-potential, A, a differential 1-form: [1] [2] = . Therefore, F is a differential 2-form— an antisymmetric rank-2 tensor field—on Minkowski space. In component form,
