Definition

A set of four coupled partial differential equations (and their integral forms) — Gauss's law for electricity, Gauss's law for magnetism, Faraday's law of induction, and the Maxwell–Ampère law with displacement current — that together express how electric charge and current produce and influence electric and magnetic fields and how those fields evolve in space and time in classical electrodynamics
