Faraday's Law
From Mathematics Is A Science
Jump to navigationJump to searchAs a PDE: \[ \nabla \times \mathbf{E} = -\frac{ \partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}. \]
Here:
- $E$: electric field, also called • the electric field intensity;
- $B$: magnetic field, also called • the magnetic induction• the magnetic field density, • the magnetic flux density;
Now, reconsidered as differential forms:
- $E$: 1-form on $TM$ or the primal complex in the discrete case,
- $B$: 2-form on $TM$ or on the primal complex in the discrete case,
For these forms: $$\oint_P E = -\frac{d}{dt} \int_A B.$$
And: $$d E dt= -d_t B.$$
