maverick_starstrider said:Maxwell's equations ARE classical EM. No less accurate or more accurate forms. Those 4 equations detail all that there is to say about classical EM (which is really quite amazing). If you want to meld electromagnetism with quantum mechanics and special relativity then you're simply not in the classical regime and the combined theory of all those is called QED (Quantum Electrodynamics). If you want to merge that with general relativity then... well... no one knows. That's the current holy grail of particle physics research. What is called a "grand unified theory"
DeepSeeded said:I thought QM proves no form of energy can ever be 0, at minimum it must be hbar/2
Then take the standard QED: it consists of EMF equations and charge motion equations coupled together.DeepSeeded said:I am looking for the reletavistic quantum electrodynamic form of these equations, it does not need to be classical.
DeepSeeded said:ok going to take QED after I finish QM core
The Maxwell equations, also known as Maxwell's equations, are a set of four fundamental equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. They were first developed by the physicist James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century.
The most accurate form of Maxwell equations is the differential form, which expresses the equations in terms of derivatives. This form is more precise and allows for a more detailed understanding of the behavior of electromagnetic fields.
The Maxwell equations are used extensively in the field of electromagnetism, as they provide a mathematical framework for understanding and predicting the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. They are also used in many practical applications, such as telecommunications, electronics, and power generation.
Yes, the Maxwell equations have been modified and extended over time as new discoveries and theories have been developed. For example, in the early 20th century, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity led to modifications in the equations to account for the effects of high speeds and strong gravitational fields.
The Maxwell equations are considered one of the most important achievements in the history of physics, as they provide a unified description of electricity and magnetism and have been crucial in the development of modern technology. They also played a key role in the development of Einstein's theory of general relativity and the understanding of the nature of light.
