What we have not yet done is shown how the electric and magnetic fields evolve in time. This chapter addresses that issue by introducing the Maxwell equations.

The Maxwell equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are created by charge and current, how the fields are related to each other, and how the fields evolve in time. Together with the Lorentz force law, the Maxwell equations ...
