Maxwell - Equations 2

This document discusses the constants and units related to electromagnetism and Maxwell's equations. It defines the permittivity of free space (ε0) and permeability of free space (μ0) as well as differential operators such as divergence and curl. It also provides the integral and differential forms of Maxwell's equations, relating electric and magnetic fields to charge and current densities. Maxwell's equations unify electricity, magnetism, and optics and describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and altered by each other and by charges and currents.
