+In his original publication in 1865,[(Maxwell)] **James Clerk Maxwell** listed 20 equations, which were split for each orthogonal coordinates (hence the large number of equations). These equations were later rationalised by **Oliver Heaviside**, who expressed them in a [[vector]] form which is know today.[(Heaviside>[[https://macsphere.mcmaster.ca/bitstream/11375/14746/1/fulltext.pdf|Oliver Heaviside, Electromagnetic theory, Vol. I, 1893, Ernest Benn Limited]])] There are four basic electromagnetic equations, supplemented by additional [[constitutive relations]], as well as expressions of energy conservation, and [[electromagnetic force]].
+To fully quantify an electromagnetic vector field it is necessary to determine its [[divergence]] as well as [[curl]].[(Griffiths)] For other fields, such as [[thermal field|thermal]], it is also useful to calculate [[gradient]], for example by employing [[vector calculus]].

+===== Electromagnetic quantities =====
+The **Maxwell-Heaviside equations** make use of several basic electromagnetic quantities, which mathematically represent [[vector field|vector fields]].

+===== Maxwell's equations in general =====
+From the viewpoint of theoretical physics, the equations can be expressed in a form which is always valid, in vacuum or in material. However, this requires a full knowledge of microscopic [[magnetic dipole moment|magnetic moments]] (at the level of subatomic particles) which makes their direct application very difficult for matter, which comprises of a very larger number of atoms.[(Griffiths)]

+===== Maxwell's equations in matter =====
+In matter, there are localised [[magnetic dipole moment|magnetic moments]] which respond to the magnetic field penetrating the matter. It is possible to express the response of the matter as a vector field which is averaged (smoothed out) over the whole volume of the material, so that the vector field is expressed in effect as a [[macroscopic]] quantity, rather than microscopic variation (which can very wildly).[(Griffiths)] These averaged out quantities are measurable experimentally on a macroscopic scale, hence useful for a direct experimental verification and technical purposes.
+However, this approach requires further information about the relationship between the excitation and response of the matter, which can be quantified for example in the form of the [[magnetic permeability]] //μ// or [[electric permittivity]] //ε//.[(Feynman)]
