<p>Create/expand category description</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>This category collects work on &#039;&#039;&#039;electromagnetism&#039;&#039;&#039;: the behaviour of electric and magnetic fields, the form and interpretation of Maxwell&#039;s equations, and the force laws governing charges and currents.<br /> <br /> Much of the material here turns on questions the standard treatment regards as settled. Should Maxwell&#039;s equations be written with &#039;&#039;&#039;partial&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;total&#039;&#039;&#039; time derivatives — the neo-Hertzian question? Does the &#039;&#039;&#039;Ampère&#039;&#039;&#039; force law, with its longitudinal forces along current streamlines, describe reality better than the Lorentz force? What is the physical status of the &#039;&#039;&#039;vector potential&#039;&#039;&#039;? Is there a genuine difficulty in unipolar induction and the Faraday paradox? Are there magnetic monopoles, or longitudinal electromagnetic waves?<br /> <br /> Entries include reformulations of Maxwell&#039;s equations, Weber and Ampère force-law work, induction experiments, and analyses of the classical experiments.
