| Electromagnetism Information1 #722522 A theory introduced by Maxwell in 1864 which unifies electricity and magnetism. Although the two phenomena manifest very differently in experiments, they have a common origin. In addition to unveiling the nature of light, this theory introduced a new constant – light speed in vacuum – whose universality was incompatible with classical mechanics. The problem was eventually resolved by Einstein's theory of special relativity in 1905. |
