I previously authored an article discussing the evolution of Maxwell’s Equations and Displacement Current. I now quote it once more to stress the importance of these equations and the role they play in electrodynamics: In fact, such is the power embedded within the four equations given above that together with…

Atomic structure and composition have long fascinated scientists and philosophers. The theories pertaining to this topic date as far back as 440 BC, when Democritus proposed the first known model of the atom. However, it is theorized that even his work was extrapolated from the work of past philosophers. …

In my previous article about conservation laws in electrodynamics, I discussed a derivation of the Poynting Theorem, the so-called “work-energy theorem” of electromagnetic theory. I also described how it represents the conservation of energy and further, derived its differential form. However, the conservation of momentum still remains a mystery. Let…

One of the most fundamental consequences of nature herself is the plethora of conservation laws that govern the possibilities of a physical process taking place. Widely categorized as either “global” or “local” in nature, these conservation laws are present across all realms of science. Each of them governs a certain…
