Radio related fundamentals 2.1 Electromagnetic waves 0 2.1.7 1 2 Maxwell Equations & Electromagnetic Waves Maxwell's Equations Maxwell's equations – mathematically: 3 1. 2. 4 3. 4. 5 6 Maxwell's equations – in words: 1. Charges produce electric field: Coulomb's law, more general form is Gauss' law. 2. Magnets produce magnetic fields but no magnetic monopoles: Gauss' law for magnetism. 3. Electric currents or time varying electric fields produce magnetic fields: Ampere's law. 4. Changing magnetic field across a wire loop or moving a wire loop in a magnetic field induces a voltage in the wire: Faraday's law 7 8 9 Maxwell's interpretations: In 1865, Maxwell combined these with a modification to Ampere's law (#3). Solution to the 4 equations in vacuum predicted oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other electromagnetic field. Maxwell predicted the wave velocity that agreed with measurements of the speed of light. cell wave mobile communications innovative consulting 2.
