Scottish physicist james clerk maxwell developed his kinetic theory of gases in 1859. It also forms the basis for inductors and transformers. The line integral of the electric field around a closed loop is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop this line integral is equal to the generated voltage or emf in the loop, so faradays law is the basis for electric generators. Maxwell indicates that the validity of equation 4 is limited to small volume fractions, however, various researchers including turner et al. The question is then whether or not such a description in terms of curls and divergences is sufficient and. For example, the sum of two nd vectors x and y is generated by summing the pairs.
