Fundamentals of Electromagnetics
Maxwell’s Equations
The problem of electromagnetic analysis on a macroscopic level is that of solving Maxwell’s equations subject to certain boundary conditions. Maxwell’s equations are a set of equations, written in differential or integral form, stating the relationships between the fundamental electromagnetic quantities. These quantities are:
For general time-varying fields, Maxwell’s equations in the differential form can be written as

Another fundamental equation, derived from Maxwell’s equations, is the equation of continuity:
