James Clerk Maxwell FRS FRSE (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish physicist and mathematician [1] who was responsible for the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, which was the first theory to describe electricity, magnetism and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon.
The James Clerk Maxwell Medal and Prize is awarded by the Institute of Physics (IOP) in theoretical physics. [1] The award is made "for exceptional early-career contributions to theoretical (including mathematical and computational) physics." It was awarded every two years between 1962 and 1970 and has since been awarded annually.
James Clerk Maxwell. By the first half of the 19th century, the understanding of electromagnetics had improved through many experiments and theoretical work. In the 1780s, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb established his law of electrostatics. In 1825, André-Marie Ampère published his force law.
Maxwell's 1861 paper describing magnetic lines of force – Predecessor to 1873 Treatise. James Clerk Maxwell, "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field", Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London 155, 459–512 (1865). (This article accompanied a December 8, 1864 presentation by Maxwell to the Royal Society.)
Maxwell’s thermodynamic surface is an 1874 sculpture [1] made by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879). This model provides a three-dimensional space of the various states of a fictitious substance with water-like properties. [2] This plot has coordinates volume (x), entropy (y), and energy (z).
A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism is a two-volume treatise on electromagnetism written by James Clerk Maxwell in 1873. Maxwell was revising the Treatise for a second edition when he died in 1879. The revision was completed by William Davidson Niven for publication in 1881.
"A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" is a paper by James Clerk Maxwell on electromagnetism, published in 1865. [1] Physicist Freeman Dyson called the publishing of the paper the "most important event of the nineteenth century in the history of the physical sciences."
The James Clerk Maxwell Foundation was formed in 1977 by the late Sydney Ross, [3] Professor of Colloidal chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, USA.Ross was born in Scotland and he inherited monies from his late father’s whisky business, Ross, Campbell Ltd.
