Question
Deriving the electromagnetic wave equation involves the successive application of this statement and a similar statement that features a negative term. Taking the curl of a curl in an equation derived from the Biot–Savart law yields this statement under the magnetostatic approximation. A term equal to the change in the electric displacement field over time was (*) added to this statement by Maxwell. This statement equates [read slowly] “J-sub-f plus d-capital D-d-t with the curl of the H-field.” This statement relates the line integral along a curve through a magnetic field to its enclosed electric current. For 10 points, identify this law in Maxwell’s equations that was devised by the namesake of the SI unit of electric current. ■END■
ANSWER: Ampère’s circuital law [or Ampère–Maxwell law] (The “similar statement” is Faraday’s law of induction.)
