  • In this video I show how to make use of Stokes and Divergence Theorem in order to convert between Differential and Integral form of Maxwell's equations. I also try to explain their connection to fluid dynamics, as well as motivation for each form.

      Hey so i finished highschool this summer and i start my undergrad in Physics in Jan 2020, i have a few questions which i would really appreciate answers to if you could spare some time from your schedule please🙏🙏..any tips to use these remaining 2 months wisely so I am prepared for what's coming? Also, how did you find the transition from highschool to undergrad? Were you a straight A student in highschool? If so, how did it reflect on your progress later on? Also, what made you chose physics? Will you be aiming for a researcher position later on?
      Thanks in advance

    The no monopole law is the easiest in a couple of ways. The differential form says "in a tiny region, there are as many incoming field lines as outgoing", which pretty obviously extends to "in any region, there are as many field lines coming in as there are going out."

    I'd just like to point out that Maxwell didn't actually use the vector notation when he devised his equations and it took Oliver Heaviside to do so some time later. So there was no Curl or Divergence in Maxwell's original (20) equations.

    So for anyone looking for a nice and easy proof for Stokes Theorem and the Divergence Theorem, look no further than the generalized stokes theorem, which states that the integral over a k+1 dimensional manifold of the exterior derivative of a k form is equal to the integral over the boundary of the manifold of that k form. I know it sounds weird because of weird vocabulary, but a quick look at an intro to differentiak forms will clear this up, and the theorem itself can be easily shown by converting the integral over the whole manifold into the integral over its boundary of the integral of the differentiated k form. Nicely enough, this yields a bunch of neat theorems super easily in a way that almost seems trivial.

    • @tomkerruish2982
      @tomkerruish2982 4 года назад +1

      @Canol Onar This was 35 years ago, so quite possibly a different Purcell. At one point, while describing how E and B transform under a Lorentz transformation, he wrote the cgs version using 'beta'. To demonstrate the 'inferiority' of SI, he wrote the same equations using 'beta/sqrt(mu_0 eps_0)' to make them appear needlessly complicated, rather than simply using 'v'. I found this to be duplicitous.

    • @dalisabe62
      @dalisabe62 4 года назад

      The integral form is concerned with the flux, which concerns itself with the total amount (a scalar quantity) of a vector field coming out of a surface area. The differential form on the other hand concerns itself with one point in the vector field only. So there is no field flux, but rather a single point relation to another variable. Notice that when the curl is involved, you must dot it against a surface infinitesimal area; otherwise your quantity would be a resulting vector as in the Stokes Theorem. This usually happen when there is a relationship between two variables like magnetic filed and electric field which are perpendicular to each other (Faraday Law). Just remember that integral form is concerned with the sum of many parts; while the differential form is concerned with one point in the distribution.

      If you mean going from integral to differential form, then you just do the whole process in reverse: convert LHS line integrals into surface integrals of the curl, write the RHS as a surface integral, then you equate the terms under the integrals.
      If you mean deriving them from scratch, I'm afraid that that might be impossible. Maxwell's equations are an agglomeration of postulates resulting from empirical findings. You could derive the first and third ones from the Coulomb and Biot-Savart laws, but I would contend that the Maxwell equations are more fundamental and that accepting them as postulates makes more sense.

      @AndrewDotsonvideos  5 лет назад +7

      Think about it, if I'm taking the time derivative inside the integral, then at this point there is still x dependence. So the field still depends on x and t, making d/dt a partial derivative. If I pull the derivative outside of the integral, then I'm taking the time derivative of something that has had all of it's x dependence summed over. So there will be nothing else to take the derivative with respect to, making it a total derivative.

      @Kes22497 5 лет назад +2

      Hi! I would recommend that you look into a little bit of basic vector calculus for a better understanding of this. However, let me try to explain.
      A line integral of a vector over a curve is when you take infinitesimal pieces of the curve you are integrating over, then taking the dot product with the vector, and then adding all that up along the curve.
      Now, for the electric field, it is the electric voltage. For a magnetic field, it is the magnetic voltage drop. It becomes relevant in the study of magnetic circuits, which is used for calculating how the magnetic flux behaves in transformer cores and stuff.
