Maxwell equations: Four differential equations which relate the electric and magnetic fields to electric charges and currents, and form the basis of the theory of electromagnetic waves. 2, record 1, English, - Maxwell%20equation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The Maxwell equations are the set of four fundamental equations governing electromagnetism(i. e., the behavior of electric and magnetic fields). They were first written down in complete form by physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who added the so-called displacement current term to the final equation, although steady-state forms were known earlier. 3, record 1, English, - Maxwell%20equation

At the top level, they find the functional model described earlier. This functional model is based on an aggregate model, which deals with the behaviours of groups of similar particles forming entities like a gas or a liquid. Finally, the behavior of these aggregate entities can be explained in terms of an underlying model. This study emphasizes the hierarchical relations between models. Like scripts with subscripts, models support one another in a "reductionistic" fashion where some relations in one model can be explained in terms of another, lower-level model. 2, record 5, English, - aggregate%20model
