  • A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field

    In 1865 James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879) published this work, "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" demonstrating that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. He proposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. The unification of light and electrical phenomena led him to ... Read more

  • Five of Maxwell's Papers

    When observing the spectrum formed by looking at a long vertical slit through a simple prism, I noticed an elongated dark spot running up and down in the blue, and following the motion of the eye as it moved up and down the spectrum, but refusing to pass out of the blue into the other colours. It was plain that the spot belonged both to the eye and to the blue part of the spectrum. ... Read more

  • On Faraday's Lines of Force (Annotated)

    Enriched Edition. A Victorian Mathematical Physics Treatise on Electromagnetic Force Lines and the Origins of Field Theory

    On Faraday's Lines of Force is a foundational memoir in nineteenth-century mathematical physics, translating Michael Faraday's intuitive field imagery into a rigorous analytical framework. Maxwell adopts a deliberately analogical style, using the mechanics of incompressible fluids and geometrical lines to clarify electrical and magnetic action without reducing them to mere distant forces. Situated ... Read more

  • On Physical Lines of Force (In Four Parts)

    "On Physical Lines of Force" is a four-part paper written by James Clerk Maxwell published in 1861. In it, Maxwell derived the equations of electromagnetism in conjunction with a "sea" of "molecular vortices" which he used to model Faraday's lines of force. Maxwell had studied and commented on the field of electricity and magnetism as early as 1855/6 when "On Faraday's Lines of Force" was read to ... Read more
