    Maxwell's equations
AI Thread Summary
Maxwell's equations and Einstein Field equations are essential for understanding electromagnetism and general relativity, but practical applications often lack detailed examples in online lectures. Many learners find that while theoretical explanations are abundant, real-world applications and data integration are rarely demonstrated. For practical examples of Maxwell's equations, standard electromagnetism textbooks provide worked problems and exercises. The Einstein field equations are more complex, but resources like arXiv and MIT OpenCourseware offer valuable insights and examples. Exploring these resources can enhance understanding of how these equations are applied in engineering and physics.

I have spent a couple of hours watching an explanation of Einstein Field equations and Maxwells equations re EM on you tube. Found it very enlightening and interesting. Only thing was that when lecturer had screens full of equations never at any time did he actually show how to "plug in" actual data to see what the result would be or explain how these equations(Maxwells i.e) would be used by an engineer to work out a solution for a particular problem. Is there somewhere I could see these equations actually in use ?

You may have just encountered the limits of YouTube videos as a learning tool...
For Maxwell's equations, any E&M textbook will have some worked examples and many more good examples in the exercises. The Einstein field equations are a different level of problem but https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9712019 will get you started.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
