Distinguish between Faraday’s law expressed in terms of fields and Maxwell’s counterpart to Faraday’s law. How are the two laws symmetrical?
To explain: difference between Faraday’s law and Maxwell’s law in terms of fields
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Faraday’s law is related to inducing electricity from changing magnetism and Maxwell’s law is related to inducing magnetism from changing electricity.
Faraday’s law states that when there is a change in number of magnetic field lines associated with a closed loop, then electricity is produced. Maxwell’s law states that by changing electric field lines passing through a device or loop, current can be induced which causes magnetism.
Two laws are opposite and symmetric to each other. Faraday’s law describes producing electricity from magnetism by changing field lines and Maxwell’s law describes just the opposite. So, it can be inferred that electricity and magnetism are source for each other.
Conclusion:
Faraday’s and Maxwell’s law are symmetrical and also counterpart of each other.
