Maxwell's equations are:
Maxwell's contribution to science in producing these equations lies in the correction he made to Ampère's circuital law.He added the displacement current term to Ampère's circuital law and this enabled him to derive the electromagnetic wave equation.
This displacement current was the fictitious current flowing in between the 2 plates of a capacitor filled with dielectric(air is also a dielectric) in between.This was a remarkable breakthrough in the communication engineering and made wireless communication possible.All wireless communication systems use dielectric(air) as the medium today to transfer energy from one point to another.Prior to this discovery all conduction was through the conducting medium.
