Abstract
We have shown in Chapter 2 that Maxwell’s equations can be divided into two groups based on the separation of electric and magnetic properties. A special subset of Maxwell’s equations consists of the equations \(\nabla \times H = J\) \(\nabla \cdot B = 0\) \(\nabla \times E = - \frac{{\partial B}}{{\partial t}}\)
If the equations are independent of time, we have
These equations are accompanied by the constitutive relations
This subset of equations describes the phenomena associated with magnetostatics.
