| A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field by |
| A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field which was written in the year 1864, is the third of James Clerk Maxwell's papers concerned with electromagnetism. It is the paper in which the original set of eight Maxwell's equations first appeared. The concept of displacement current that he had introduced in his 1861 paper On Physical Lines of Force was utilized for the first time, in order to derive the electromagnetic wave equation.— Excerpted from A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
