Study resources
- NPTEL EM Theory - Week 7 (wave equation, plane EM waves, energy carried) (Article) — Week 7 derives the wave equations for E and B from Maxwell's equations, solves them for plane waves, gets c = 1/sqrt(mu0 eps0), and establishes the E0/B0 relation.
- Divergence - Khan Academy article (Article) — Animated explanation of divergence as net outflow from a point. This intuition is exactly what makes div E = rho/epsilon and div B = 0 make sense.
