Maxwell’s Equation and Its Applications in Electromagnetism

Abstract

As people always admitted that James Clerk Maxwell is one of the greatest scientists in the world, but major people may do not know the source of this glory. This paper is dedicated to give a rough impression of Maxwell and his experiences. Especially, the author then focuses on the well-known Maxwell’ equations and attempt to illustrate them in simplest tune so that those people with weak knowledge bases but interested in Maxwell can recognize his imperishable contribution easily. This article reviews the history of electromagnetism and then focus on Maxwell himself, especially Maxwell’s equations. The author will introduce those equations separately so that readers can get a rough profile of Maxwell’s equations and applying them in different fields like antenna design, spectrum and wireless communication. These applications not only improve people’s living standard to a large extent, but also raise the productivity of the society. The work should be a beneficial for people in the field of electromagnetism.
