* Chapter 38 Maxwell’ Equations and Electromagnetic Waves Chapter 38 Maxwell’s Equations and Electromagnetic Waves 38-1 The Basic Equations of Electromagnetism Consider the similarities of electric and magnetic fields in their mathematical properties. Gauss’laws for electricity and magnetism are symmetrical for a region of space in which electric and magnetic fields exist but there are no charges or currents. Faraday’s law and Ampere’s law are not symmetrical for a closed path in this region. Is it possible that a varying electric field could set up a magnetic field? Yes it is!
