In this chapter we review electromagnetic theory by presenting Maxwell's equations. This review is intended to refresh the reader's understanding of electromagnetic theory so as to allow the main subject matter of this booksuperconducting magnets to be approached in a quantitative manner. After a presentation of Maxwell's equations and simple solutions that are not only tractable analytically but also useful in most magnet applications, specific cases familiar to most magnet engineers will be presented and studied.
