An Evaluation on Maxwell's Field Equations

Semra Uçar

Maxwell has shown in his field equations that electricity and magnetism, which are thought to be two separate phenomena, are in fact two distinct components of a single phenomenon. Maxwell not only developed these fundamental equations but used them to predict the existence of electromagnetic waves and to show that light is an electromagnetic wave. In this study, I researched on the emergence and effects of Maxwell's field equations using data from the history of physics. As a result of the evaluation, I emphasized the revolutionary character of Maxwell's way of explaining the functioning of the universe and identified certain insufficient points. In conclusion, I tried to show that new explanations are inevitable in order to understand the universe and to show the role of mathematics in these explanations.

Maxwell’in Alan Denklemleri Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Semra Uçar

Maxwell, iki ayrı fenomen oldukları düşünülen elektrik ve manyetizmanın bir tek fenomenin iki ayrı bileşenleri olduğunu kendi alan denklemleri ile göstermiştir. Maxwell, sadece elektromanyetizmanın temel denklemlerini geliştirmekle kalmayıp aynı zamanda bu denklemleri, elektromanyetik dalgaların varlığını öngörmede ve ışığın bir elektromanyetik dalga olduğunu göstermede kullanmıştır. Bu çalışmada fizik tarihinden veriler kullanılarak, Maxwell’in alan denklemlerinin ortaya çıkışı ve etkileri araştırılmıştır. Değerlendirme sonucunda Maxwell’in evrenin işleyişini açıklama biçiminin devrimsel karakteri vurgulanmış ve buna rağmen yetersiz kaldığı noktalar tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak evreni anlamada yeni açıklamaların kaçınılmaz olduğu ve bu açıklamalarda matematiğin oynadığı rol gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır.
