Maxwell's Laws of Electromagnetism

  • Gauss's Law
  • Gauss's Law for Magnetism
  • Faraday's Law
  • Ampere's Law with Maxwell's Addition
    • Maxwell's Addition is displacement current, which is defined in terms of the displacement current field, D.

A cleaner formulation using D and H: https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/5312/205108

The asymmetry of many terms in the magnetic field not having a counterpart for the electric field is because we do not have Magnetic Monopoles, or magnetons.

Also, Displacement Current comes from time-varying electric fields, but when it comes to the charge term, we don't have a counterpart for magnetic fields. Or in other words, due to interaction of electric field with materials.
