James Clerk Maxwell The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, b. Nov. 13, 1831, d. Nov. 5, 1879, did revolutionary work in electromagnetism and the kinetic theory of gases. After graduating (1854) with a degree in mathematics from Trinity College, Cambridge, he held professorships at Marischal College in Aberdeen (1856) and King's College in London (1860) and became the first Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge in 1871. Maxwell's most important achievement was his extension and mathematical formulation of Michael Faraday's theories of electricity and magnetic lines of force. In his research, conducted between 1864 and 1873, Maxwell showed that a few relatively simple mathematical equations could express the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interrelated nature; that is, an oscillating electric charge produces an electromagnetic field. These four partial differential equations first appeared in fully developed form in Electricity and Magnetism (1873). Since known as Maxwell's equations they are one of the great achievements of 19th-century physics. Maxwell also calculated that the speed of propagation of an electromagnetic field is approximately that of the speed of light. He proposed that the phenomenon of light is therefore an electromagnetic phenomenon. Because charges can oscillate with any frequency, Maxwell concluded that visible light forms only a small part of the entire spectrum of possible electromagnetic radiation.

There he enjoyed a country upbringing and his natural curiosity displayed itself at an early age. In a letter written on 25 April 1834 when 'The Boy' was not yet three years old he is described as follows, see [4]:- He is a very happy man, and has improved much since the weather got moderate; he has great work with doors, locks, keys etc., and 'Show me how it doos' is never out of his mouth. He also investigates the hidden course of streams and bell-wires, the way the water gets from the pond through the wall and a pend or small bridge and down a drain ... When James was eight years old his mother died. His parents plan that they would educate him at home until he was 13 years old, and that he would then be able to go the Edinburgh University, fell through. A 16 year old boy was hired to act as tutor but the arrangement was not a successful one and it was decided that James should attend the Edinburgh Academy.

James Clerk Maxwell James Clerk Maxwell, living from 1831 to 1879, was one of the great mathematicians of his time. Shortly after being set on the project of electromagnetism by Faraday, he soon saw the connection between the approach of Faraday and that of the Germans (Reimann and Gauss) and (perhaps to Faraday's chagrin) showed that they were equivalent. In one of the most elegant theories of all time, he wrote down the equations that described electromagnetism and the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The equations are now known, of course, as Maxwell's Equations. One of the first things he did with his equations was to calculate the velocity of the propagation of an electromagnetic wave. When he did so, he found that the velocity of such a wave was almost identical to the measured velocity for light. Based on this, he was the first to propose that light was actually an electromagnetic wave. Author: Dan Thomas email: Last Updated: Thursday, July 4, 1996

8. James Clerk Maxwell James Clerk Maxwell. 1831 1879 Maxwell was born in Edinburgh, but became professor of Physics at Aberdeen s Marischal College in 1857. http://www.ifb.net/webit/maxwell.htm

James Clerk Maxwell Maxwell was born in Edinburgh, but became professor of Physics at Aberdeen's Marischal College in 1857. He lived reasonably close by at 129 Union Street, where today there is a brass plaque commemorating that fact. Maxwell remained as professor of Physics until the merger of Marischal College with Kings College in 1860 to form the University of Aberdeen . There is a story that when the two universities united that where a department was duplicated the older of the two head of departments would be retired and the younger man would be given the new post. In the case of Maxwell that policy was not adhered to, it is suggested, because although Maxwell was a brilliant scientist he was not as good as the other man when it came to teaching. Whether the story is true or not does not in any way put into doubt the fact that Maxwell was certainly one of the greatest scientific thinkers of the nineteenth century. In 1865 he published a set of equations that embodied his unified theory of electricity and magnatism. He subsequently used this theory to predict that light is a form of electromagnetic wave. Seven years after Maxwell's death the German physicist Heinrich Hertz demonstrated the validity of Maxwell's prediction and hence vindicated his theory. It is for this work on electromagnitism that Maxwell is best remembered. After leaving Aberdeen he was eventually appointed as the first professor of experimental physics at Cambridge in 1871.

James Clerk Maxwell 1831 až 1879 teorie elektromagnetického pole Roku 1865 uèinil Maxwell matematický závìr, že jsou možné elektromagnetické vlny, které se šíøí rychlostí svìtla. V letech 1868-69 Maxwell vypoèítal velmi pøesnì rychlost svìtla. Ve svém spisu z let 1855-56 podává Maxwell matematické vyjádøení pojmu Faradyových siloèar. Podrobil v nìm prùbìh magnetických siloèar v blízkosti elektrického proudu a dospìl tak k dobøe známé vektorové diferenciální rovnici, podle níž každá jednotlivá proudová linie vytváøí vírové magnetické pole. Ve svém pozdìjším pojednání z roku 1862 Maxwell pøipojil k vodivému proudu také proud posuvný, který se objevuje v každém dialektriku, mìní-li se intenzita elektrického pole a teprve s proudem vodivým tvoøí celkový proud stále v sebe uzavøený. Maxwellova teorie magnetismu pøedpokládá, že magnetizace je úmìrná intenzitì magnetického pole; ve skuteènosti dosahije magnetizace u kovových tìles pøi vzrùstající intenzitì pole hodnoty nysycení, která daleko pøesahuje hodnoty magnetizace dosažitelné u jiných látek. U magneticky tvrdých materiálù závisí magnetizace podstatnì ménì na okamžité intenzitì pole než na pøedchozí úpravì. Jinak by totiž neexistovaly trvalé magnety. Roku 1860 Maxwell na základì vlastních mìøení vnitøního tøení zjistil, že všechny molekuly nemají stejnou rychlost, proto je difúze pomalá. Odvodil zákon rozdìlení rychlostí, pojmenovaný po nìm.

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) On the Dynamical Evidence of the Molecular Constitution of Bodies J. Chem. Soc. (London) , 493-508 (1875) [facsimile published in Mary Jo Nye, The Question of the Atom (Los Angeles: Tomash, 1984)] Of all hypotheses as to the constitution of bodies, that is surely the most warrantable which assumes no more than that they are material systems, and proposes to deduce from the observed phenomena just as much information about the conditions and connections of the material system as these phenomena can legitimately furnish. In studying the constitution of bodies we are forced from the very beginning to deal with particles which we cannot observe. For whatever may be our ultimate conclusions as to molecules and atoms, we have experimental proof that bodies may be divided into parts so small that we cannot perceive them. Hence, if we are careful to remember that the word particle means a small part of a body, and that it does not involve any hypothesis as to the ultimate divisibility of matter, we may consider a body as made up of particles, and we may also assert that in bodies or parts of bodies of measurable dimensions, the number of particles is very great indeed. The next thing required is a dynamical method of studying a material system consisting of an immense number of particles, by forming an idea of their configuration and motion, and of the forces acting on the particles, and deducing from the dynamical theory those phenomena which, though depending on the configuration and motion of the invisible particles, are capable of being observed in visible portions of the system.

James Clerk Maxwell Maxwell is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant men ever. His contributions to physics, through studies of electromagnetism and his proposal that light is a wave, are still extremely influential. He succeeded in successfully modelling much of what is still known of wave behavior in only a few equations, the so-called "Maxwell Equations." He also studied Saturn's rings, the first person to propose that they had actual substance. He also developed a stastical method of analysis for gases. Like Chevreul and Helmholtz , Maxwell also studied color vision. His precise mathematical analysis of vision furthered the work done by Young on the trichromatic scheme of color vision and paved the way for Helmholtz's work. Maxwell also invented a method of studying the blending of colors. Any rapidly rotating disc with spots of different colors on it will seem to be but one color to the eye. To study this, Maxwell invented what are now known as "Maxwell's discs"a set of discs which interlock interchangeably to form one multicolored disc.

The James Clerk Maxwell Foundation To promote, encourage, and advance the study of, research into, and the dissemination of knowledge of and relating to physics, chemistry and physical chemistry in all their aspects and in particular, but without prejudice to the foregoing generality, colloids and interfaces. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. http://www.rpi.edu/~rosss2/maxwell1.html

THE JAMES CLERK MAXWELL FOUNDATION The James Clerk Maxwell Foundation has essentially two functions, one charitable and the other commemorative. Its general purposes are outlined in the first two items of its Deed of Declaration of Trust, dated 12 January 1977: "1. To promote, encourage, and advance the study of, research into, and the dissemination of knowledge of and relating to physics, chemistry and physical chemistry in all their aspects and in particular, but without prejudice to the foregoing generality, colloids and interfaces. "2. To commemorate, by publishing or contributing towards or promoting the publication in any way (but not with a view to profit) of scientific or educational books, films, papers, essays, monographs and/or lectures on or relating to physics and chemistry or any aspect thereof, the said James Clerk Maxwell and any other person or persons who may in the opinion of the Trustees have contributed significantly to the advancement of physics or chemistry." The charitable function of the Foundation was its only concern during the years 1977-93. Grants were made to senior scientists (professors) to attend meetings abroad and to junior scientists (graduates and undergraduates) to assist their studies or researches. As the Foundation is a modest one, these grants were not large, but even so were often essential for the purposes of the recipients. With the acquisition of the house in which Clerk Maxwell was born, in the New Town of Edinburgh, the work of the Foundation entered a new phase in which its commemorative function predominated. Once the current mortgage is discharged, the Foundation will be able to execute its charitable function to a greater degree than is possible at present.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Branch of Science Physicists ... Scottish Maxwell, James (1831-1879) Scottish mathematician and physicist who published physical and mathematical theories of the electromagnetic field When he first became interested in electricity, he wrote Kelvin asking how best to proceed. Kelvin recommended that Maxwell read the published works in the order Faraday Kelvin , and then the German physicists. Maxwell wanted to present electricity in its most simple form. He started out by writing a paper entitled "On Faraday's Lines of Force" (1856), in which he translated Faraday's theories into mathematical form, presenting the lines of force as imaginary tubes containing an incompressible fluid. He then published "On Physical Lines of Force" (1861) in which he treated the lines of force as real entities, based on the movement of iron filings in a magnetic field and using the analogy of an idle wheel. He also presented a derivation that light consists of transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. Finally, he published a purely mathematical theory in "On a Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" (1865). Maxwell's formulation of electricity and magnetism was published in A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873), which included the formulas today known as the
