where E is the electric field, ρ is the charge density, and ε₀ is the electric constant (permittivity of free space).
Ampere's law states that the total magnetic flux through a closed loop is proportional to the current enclosed within that loop. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
The study of electromagnetics begins with vector analysis, which is a mathematical framework for describing physical quantities with both magnitude and direction. Vectors are used to represent electric and magnetic fields, and various operations such as addition, subtraction, dot product, and cross product are used to manipulate and analyze these fields.
Gauss's law states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within that surface. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
∇×E = -∂B/∂t
