  2. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    The above equations are the microscopic version of Maxwell's equations, expressing the electric and the magnetic fields in terms of the (possibly atomic-level) charges and currents present. This is sometimes called the "general" form, but the macroscopic version below is equally general, the difference being one of bookkeeping.

  3. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

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

    In free space, where ε = ε 0 and μ = μ 0 are constant everywhere, Maxwell's equations simplify considerably once the language of differential geometry and differential forms is used. The electric and magnetic fields are now jointly described by a 2-form F in a 4-dimensional spacetime manifold.

    General purpose, includes 2D and 3D magnetics solvers, both static and harmonic. 3D solver is based on the Whitney AV formulation of Maxwell's equations. VSimEM: Commercial Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Automatic, variable mesh FDTD, PIC, finite volume: Simulating electromagnetics, and electrostatics in complex dielectric and metallic environments.

  5. Electromagnetic field solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_field_solver

    Electromagnetic behavior is governed by Maxwell's equations, and all parasitic extraction requires solving some form of Maxwell's equations. That form may be a simple analytic parallel plate capacitance equation or may involve a full numerical solution for a complex 3D geometry with wave propagation.

  6. Electromagnetic wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_wave_equation

    Because of the linearity of Maxwell's equations in a vacuum, solutions can be decomposed into a superposition of sinusoids. This is the basis for the Fourier transform method for the solution of differential equations. The sinusoidal solution to the electromagnetic wave equation takes the form

  7. Maxwell stress tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_stress_tensor

    All but the last term of can be written as the tensor divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor, giving: = +, As in the Poynting's theorem, the second term on the right side of the above equation can be interpreted as the time derivative of the EM field's momentum density, while the first term is the time derivative of the momentum density for ...

  8. Maxwell's equations in curved spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations_in...

    These equations can be viewed as a generalization of the vacuum Maxwell's equations which are normally formulated in the local coordinates of flat spacetime. But because general relativity dictates that the presence of electromagnetic fields (or energy / matter in general) induce curvature in spacetime, [ 1 ] Maxwell's equations in flat ...

  9. List of open-source software for mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source...

    The primary difference between a computer algebra system and a traditional calculator is the ability to deal with equations symbolically rather than numerically. The precise uses and capabilities of these systems differ greatly from one system to another, yet their purpose remains the same: manipulation of symbolic equations.
