Chapter 1. Equations 1.1. Symbols and notations used
To denote vector variables, we will use: 1.2. The most general form of Maxwell’s equations The problem of magnetic monopole real existence is not relevant mathematically concerning solutions of the equations. Maxwell’s equations in most general form are presented by following formulas: | |
, | (1.1) |
, | (1.2) |
, | (1.3) |
, | (1.4) |
, | (1.5a) |
, | (1.5b) |
The textbooks and publications which include introduction to Maxwell’s equations should use the above, since they present the essence of described phenomena in short and concise from. In addition, main equations (1.1-1.4) do not contain any coefficients, thus make them quite easy to memorize. If there is no need to use values of D⃗ and H⃗ we can use relation (1.5) in equation (1.4), therefore obtaining: , which can be further divided by ϵ0 in addition using (1.5) in (1.1), we can derive Maxwell’s equations in a form shown below. However, this form is not easy to memorize: | |
, | (1.6) |
, | (1.7) |
, | (1.8) |
, | (1.9) |
