      Abstract:

      Through experiments, Michael Faraday found that electromagnetic phenomena are mediated by fields in the space, which can be visualized by using magnetic or electrical powders. James Clerk Maxwell, using partial differential equations (the mathematical tools for the theory of mechanics of continuous media) to represent the electrical and magnetic fields envisioned by Michael Faraday, resulted in a set of equations as the basis of electromagnetism as we know it.
