Which of Maxwell’s equations describes it?
Tap a card, then tap its group.
Charge is the source of E; B has no source and its lines close; a changing B makes E; a current or a changing E makes B.
Assumptions
•
Each card is one situation; it belongs to the law that explains it most directly.
•
The four laws: Gauss’s law for E, Gauss’s law for B, Faraday’s law and the Ampère–Maxwell law.
