	James Clerk Maxwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic forces are two complementary aspects of electromagnetism.
		Maxwell's most important contribution was the extension and mathematical formulation of earlier work on electricity and magnetism by Michael Faraday, André-Marie Ampère, and others into a linked set of differential equations (originally, 20 equations in 20 variables, later re-expressed in quaternion and vector-based notations).
		Furthermore, Maxwell showed that the equations predict waves of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through empty space at a speed that could be predicted from simple electrical experiments—using the data available at the time, Maxwell obtained a velocity of 310,740,000 m/s.

	Figures of Thought, by Thomas K. Simpson
		James Clerk Maxwell’s Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873) established the scope and the shape of classical electromagnetic science—from field theory (epitomized in “Maxwell’s equations”) to the electromagnetic theory of light.
		The study consists of a careful reading of one crucial section of the Treatise, that in which Maxwell unfolds his "dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field"---namely, Chapters I through IX of Part iv.
		To a very modest extent, it is a literary criticism, in the sense that it is concerned with the kind of question one would ordinarily expect to ask, for example, about a novel: questions of meaning, of structure, and of style.

		Gooding's view of the relation of theory (roughly, a set of often only barely articulated assumptions about the structure and workings of the material world, assumptions that are often but not always mathematical) and practical experiment in scientific change is more synthetic.
		Similarly, because a magnetic pole tends to move in a circle around a current-carrying wire, Faraday argued that both electricity and magnetism occurred as a result of movements in a medium, rather than as a result of changes in currents and magnets.
		In his Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1861), James Clerk Maxwell wrote that Faraday "saw lines of force traversing all space where the mathematicians saw centers of force acting at a distance.

		One reason for the unification of electricity and magnetism can be seen by the complete cancellation of terms under the name of Faraday's law.
