Maxwell Equations and Electromagnetic Waves

This lecture covers the physical consequences of Maxwell equations, including Faraday's law of induction, charge conservation, and electromagnetic waves. It also delves into electromagnetic potentials, the absence of magnetic monopoles, and the prediction of electromagnetic waves by James Clerk Maxwell in 1865. The instructor explains the concepts through examples and discusses the computation of electromagnetic fields and sources. Fourier transforms are introduced as a method to analyze electromagnetic phenomena, and different approaches to solving Maxwell equations are explored.
