A.
Maxwell's equations
Maxwell's equations are the fundamental set of four equations in classical electromagnetism that describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and interact with charges and currents.
-
B.
foundations of electrodynamics
"Foundations of electrodynamics" is a seminal work by André-Marie Ampère that laid the theoretical groundwork for classical electromagnetism and the mathematical description of electric currents and their interactions.
-
C.
Lorentz force
The Lorentz force is the fundamental force experienced by a charged particle moving in electric and magnetic fields, forming the basis of classical electromagnetism.
-
D.
Ampère's force law
Ampère's force law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism that quantifies the mechanical force between electric currents in conductors.
