What are the four laws of Maxwell?

The four laws of Maxwell, also known as Maxwell's equations, are a set of fundamental equations that describe the behavior and interplay of electric and magnetic fields. The law of Gauss' for electric fields states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed. The law of Gauss' for magnetic fields states that no magnetic monopoles exist, and the magnetic field lines always form closed loops. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that a changing magnetic field induces an electric field. Lastly, Ampere's law with Maxwell's addition states that the magnetic field induced by an electric current is proportional to the current and to the rate of change of electric flux. These laws provide a mathematical framework for understanding and predicting the behavior of electromagnetic phenomena, leading to the development of numerous technological advancements.
