Maxwell's Equations: Crash Course Physics #37
Season 1
Episode 37
In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields. So he decided to assemble a set of equations that held true for all electromagnetic interactions. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about Maxwell's Equations and how important they are to our understanding of Physics.
