Foundation Made by Maxwell's Equations and the Future

avatar

At some point in my life, a fated meeting and discussion around the Maxwell equation was destined to happen. I am no physicist nor an Electrical Engineer but I do have friends, professors and other acquaintances that have stressed the significance of the Maxwell equation.

Who Established the Maxwell Equations?


No surprises here, James Clerk Maxwell was a physicist from Scotland, United Kingdom. His contribution to electromagnetic theory is historic and has helped shaped the scientific world to what is in the modern age. His journey within the electromagnetic field of research was maintained throughout the mid-1800s. His work successfully contributed to simplifying and proving (through mathematical equations), the link between magnetism and electricity. Summarising the various laws is a little challenging and it’s worth diving into the mathematical proofs within context to gain understanding but here is what I understood thus far:

Gauss’ Law – The very first equation covers the principles of electric flux going out of an enclosed surface with relation to charge and resulting field.

Gauss’ Magnetic Field Law – Proof that magnetic monopoles (isolated magnet with a single pole) cannot exist.

Faraday’s Law – Theoretical equation used to predict interaction between magnetic field and electrical circuit for resulting electromagnetic induction.

Ampere’s Law – Relation between magnetic field and source electrical current with consideration of “free space” as a constant.

I would check out the sources below to have a deeper insight into the theory behind the Maxwell equations, they may seem complicated but the resources explain them very well for even just the curious mind.

Maxwell Equation Utility and the Future Ahead


Understanding the above laws helps us to model and manipulate electrical fields and magnetism with great accuracy. With these equations in mind, it’s possible to model and change the way fields interact and move. These fundamental laws have served as building blocks for forthcoming technologies, far more than you may realise. Telecommunication, the screen you watch, sensing technologies and so much more are derived from these principles. Understanding the world through science allows us to create greater and better things.

The beauty of theory and control transfers to multiple innovations that incorporate novel research and design. Even the computer that I write this very blog on today has relied on the establishment of Maxwell’s equations. The scientific world continues to reference and build upon these laws to advance technology. Quantum exploration for instance is of great interest in the current industry Meta and it is thought to hold the key to the next leap in technological advancement. Perhaps Maxwell will once again yield a clue as to how Quantum Effects have influence in the field of electromagnetism.
