Maxwell Equations
• “Maxwell's equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated by charges, currents,
and changes of each other.
• One important consequence of the equations is that they demonstrate how fluctuating electric and
magnetic fields propagate at the speed of light.

12. Scalar and Vector field
• Scalar field: Function of space whose value at each point is scalar
quantity
• Ex: Potential set up by charge in space
• Vector field: Function of space whose value at each point is vector
quantity
• The electric field at each and every point surrounding the charge could be represented
by vectors and hence vector field
