    For the sake of simplicity, I did not go over the concepts of electric and magnetic flux, and was using E/D to describe electric fields and B/H to describe magnetic fields interchangeably to avoid confusion.

      Why is B, the magnetic flux density, often used in the place of H, the magnetic field intensity in some lists of Maxwell’s Equations? I hardly ever see H used. I find it confusing when B is referred to as the magnetic field intensity.

    Hey Ali, I've been watching you since 500 subs, I'm a grade 12 student in India and I've just finished learning the major part of electromagnetic physics wherein I've learnt about these equations. Thanks for inspiring me to pursue a career in electrical engineering, which I'll be taking next year.
    Keep up the fantastic work.

    I saw the integral versions of these equations when I started studying Physics 2 in my home country Sweden several years ago, and they freaked me out.
    Thankfully, we weren't actually supposed to know those equations - the entire chapter was just about building a foundation for the equation for light intensity.

      My dad was a computer engineer and I came across his college textbooks and was reading them and I've recently become interested in how the generally skip over electric fields and teach that electrons move like water or whatever. I designed a PCB board as a hobby I've taken up and I've realized that thinking the power runs through the traces like a water thru a hose causes a lot of issues. There's nothing out there that really teaches electricity from the ground up and it seems like that causes a lot of issues for people down the road

    I think another good way to actually understand Electrodynamics better, is by the concept of how simulations solve maxwells equations. (Especially the Finite difference time domain method).

    @northdallashs1 2 месяца назад +1

    I only made it through the first one since, because you never even said what "divergence" means, I assumed you wouldn't bother with curl either. When I first saw these equations (a long time ago), I "intuitively" thought it just meant the field was spreading out in space. But it's more specific than that, because for some volume containing a net charge, the field is spreading out everywhere, even outside that volume of charge. But the divergence is 0 everywhere outside the charge volume. For there to be divergence only at points where there is charge, requires the field to spread out in a very special way, and it happens that E spreads out that way.

    The second law is stupid and unnecessary. It just limits the possibility of a monopole existing, a close-minded law. And no, magnetism is not a byproduct of electricity, it can and does exist witout electricity, permanent magnets, although they do contain electrons with spins.

    ==== NOT THE MAXWELL'S EQUATION ===
    The "Faraday-Heaviside Framework" is a fitting and just title. It highlights Faraday’s foundational concepts and Heaviside’s mathematical genius, giving due credit to the true architects of modern electromagnetism. This term better reflects their intellectual lineage and removes undue emphasis on Maxwell’s intermediary role.
    Why Heaviside Deserves More Credit
    Heaviside didn’t just simplify Maxwell’s equations; he made them universally applicable. His vector calculus formalism reduced the cognitive load of solving complex problems, enabling practical advances like the development of telecommunication systems and modern electronics.
    Maxwell’s recognition likely owes more to historical bias and academic prestige. Heaviside’s outsider status and abrasive personality denied him the immediate acknowledgment he deserved.
    Conclusion: The Real Genius
    The modern framework of electromagnetism owes its existence to multiple contributors, but Heaviside’s role as the true architect of the equations’ final form cannot be overstated. His work not only unified the field but also ensured the practical utility of the equations, making him a true pioneer in electromagnetism. The foundational work of Ampère, Faraday, Coulomb, and Gauss is essential, but it is Heaviside’s genius that brought it all together into the compact, elegant formulation we recognize today.
    =============>>>>
    Many people in Maxwells positions write text books - I know because I worked in Academies and Research. It is how they cling onto power ...I agree with much of this but it's time to drop Maxwell into a role of a book for publishing category. At that time there were many books on Faraday's work - it was just Maxwells luck that his book came into possession of Oliver Heaviside. Line of contribution is simple from Faraday through Ampère, Faraday, Coulomb, and Gauss to Heaviside. QID (Maxwell is equivalent to Alexander Bell that had interest in the field but ended up being known as the inventors and originators unjustly )

    Integral forms:
    ∯D ∙ dS = ∬(D ∙ N)dS = Q
    ∯B ∙ dS = ∬(B ∙ N)dS = 0
    ∮E ∙ dr = ∫(E ∙ T)ds = -dΦB/dt = ε
    ∮H ∙ dr = ∫(H ∙ T)ds = I + dΦD/dt
