Concept:

A field is a condition of space around a charge

Force is equal to charge times E-field (F = q E)

Test charge (+) will move in the direction of the E-field

Properties of fields are described by field lines – the charge trajectory
Properties of E-fields:

E-field lines start at + charge end at – charge

E-field lines are perpendicular on conducting surfaces

Two or more E-field lines cannot cross

Density of field lines is proportional to the magnitude of the field.

Field propagates with the speed of light.

Maxwell's equations – in words:
1.
Charges produce electric field: Coulomb's law, more general form is Gauss' law.
2.
Magnets produce magnetic fields but no magnetic monopoles: Gauss' law for magnetism.
3.
Electric currents or time varying electric fields produce magnetic fields: Ampere's law.
4.
Changing magnetic field across a wire loop or moving a wire loop in a magnetic field induces a
voltage in the wire: Faraday's law

Maxwell's interpretations:

In 1865, Maxwell combined these with a modification to Ampere's law (#3).

Solution to the 4 equations in vacuum predicted oscillating electric and magnetic fields
perpendicular to each other  electromagnetic field.

Maxwell predicted the wave velocity that agreed with measurements of the speed of light.
