👉 Maxwell's equations, named after James Clerk Maxwell, are a set of three fundamental laws that describe how electric and magnetic fields interact in vacuum. These equations were first derived by James Clerk Maxwell in 1861 for his work on electricity and magnetism. The equations describe the relationships between electric and magnetic fields (EMF) within an electromagnetic field. They involve a combination of vector quantities, which are vectors that represent both magnitude and direction, and scalar quantities, such as currents or flux
