Practice question
Question
Which of Maxwell's equations shows that there are no magnetic monopoles?
Explanation
**Hertz experiment** used induction coil connected to two rods with gap, spark produced oscillating charge, emitted EM wave, received by loop with gap sparking when E induced, measured wavelength by standing wave, demonstrated EM wave properties, validating Maxwell. Gauss's Law for magnetism, oint B · d A = 0 , implies that the magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero, indicating no magnetic monopoles. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields Gauss's Law for magnetism, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
