Single Idea 20627

[from 'Theories of Everything' by Frank Close, in 27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 2. Electrodynamics / a. Electrodynamics ]

Full Idea

Four basic laws of electric and magnetic fields: Gauss's Law (about the flux produced by a field), Gauss's law of magnets (there can be no monopoles), Ampère's Law (fields on surfaces), and Farday's Law (accelerated magnets produce fields).

Gist of Idea

Electric fields have four basic laws (two by Gauss, one by Ampère, one by Faraday)
