Maxwell's equations in the vector field approach Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field
the behaviour of electric , magnetic fields, whether in cases of electrostatics, magnetostatics, or electrodynamics (electromagnetic fields), governed maxwell s equations:
where ρ charge density, can (and does) depend on time , position, ε0 electric constant, μ0 magnetic constant, , j current per unit area, function of time , position. equations take form international system of quantities.
when dealing nondispersive isotropic linear materials, maxwell s equations modified ignore bound charges replacing permeability , permittivity of free space permeability , permittivity of linear material in question. materials have more complex responses electromagnetic fields, these properties can represented tensors, time-dependence related material s ability respond rapid field changes (dispersion (optics), green–kubo relations), , possibly field dependencies representing nonlinear and/or nonlocal material responses large amplitude fields (nonlinear optics).
