Q

Electromagnetic Field Principles (Maxwell’s Equations)

A

1) An electric charge acts as a source for the electric field
2)Stand alone magnetic charges can’t exist (objects always have north and south pole)
3) A disturbance in the magnetic field affects the electric field
4) A change in the electric field causes a disturbance in the magnetic field, creates a cycle with 3
