The First Electronic Church of America James Clerk Maxwell The Scottish physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell was born November 13, 1831, the year that Samuel F.B. Morse first conceived the telegraph, and he died in Cambridge on November 5, 1879, the year that Thomas Edison was doing his first early work to invent the light bulb. Maxwell invented nothing. His major discovery of "the ether," the vast sea of space that made possible the transmission of light, heat and radio waves, was nothing more than a poetic metaphor. But Maxwell's ether, or "sea of space," made it possible for scientists and engineers who followed Maxwell to think of "waves," a move that gave them the imaginative model they needed to proceed with the experiments in electromagnetism that led to the wireless telegraph, radio, television, radar and the laser. Maxwell's metaphor led to all the advances in electronic communication that followed. His extension of the electromagnetic theory of light led directly to Heinrich Hertz's discovery of radio waves and to related advances in science and technology which have transformed the modern world.

Scientists and Electromagnetic Waves: Maxwell and Hertz About 150 years ago, James Clerk Maxwell , an English scientist, developed a scientific theory to explain electromagnetic waves. He noticed that electrical fields and magnetic fields can couple together to form electromagnetic waves. Neither an electrical field (like the static which forms when you rub your feet on a carpet), nor a magnetic field (like the one that holds a magnet onto your refrigerator) will go anywhere by themselves. But, Maxwell discovered that a CHANGING magnetic field will induce a CHANGING electric field and vice-versa. James Clerk Maxwell An electromagnetic wave exists when the changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field, which then causes another changing magnetic field, and so on forever. Unlike a STATIC field, a wave cannot exist unless it is moving. Once created, an electromagnetic wave will continue on forever unless it is absorbed by matter. Heinrich Hertz , a German physicist, applied Maxwell's theories to the production and reception of radio waves. The unit of frequency of a radio wave one cycle per second is named the hertz, in honor of Heinrich Hertz. Hertz proved the existence of radio waves in the late 1880s. He used two rods to serve as a receiver and a spark gap as the receiving antennae. Where the waves were picked up, a spark would jump. Hertz showed in his experiments that these signals possessed all of the properties of electromagnetic waves.

JAMES CLERK MAXWELL MAXWELL, JAMES CLERK In private life Clerk Maxwell was one of the most lovable of men, a sincere and unostentatious Christian. Though perfectly free from any trace of envy or ill-will, he yet showed on fit occasion his contempt for that pseudo-science which seeks for the applause of the ignorant by professing to reduce the whole system of the universe to a fortuitous sequence of uncaused events.

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) mathematical physicist Christopher Haley, History and Philosophy of Science, Cambridge University. James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), Scottish physicist, widely considered by twentieth and twenty-first century physicists to have been one of the most significant figures of the nineteenth century. His work fundamentally changed conceptions of electromagnetism and introduced the basis of field theory. He is also known for his work on thermodynamics and the kinetic theory of gases. Education At age 16, Maxwell left the Academy for Edinburgh University. His studies there included Natural Philosophy under Kelland, Forbes and Gregory; Moral Philosophy under Wilson; and Mental Philosophy under Sir William Hamilton. Maxwell consumed these subjects eagerly, and his letters and notes from this period (November 1847 to October 1850) clearly demonstrate an extraordinary thirst for knowledge. At the same time, we can see the maturation of his own critical faculties, together with the want for original research, and his vacations were invariably spent engaged in experiment of some kind at the family home of Glenlair. In October 1850, Maxwell came up to

Home J.C. Maxwell Biography > J.C. Maxwell Biography The 1997 Digital Preservation of "The Life of James Clerk Maxwell" We know James Clerk Maxwell primarily for Maxwell’s equations. While I personally have been working only several decades with Maxwell’s equations, there are many researchers who have been working with his equations for their entire professional careers. But what do we know about Maxwell the person? Where are all the biographies of this person described by Richard Feynman as the greatest physicist of the 19th century, the one person who, after the Civil War of the same century is long forgotten, will still be shining brightly? There are very few biographies of Maxwell. The most comprehensive biography was written by a life-long friend, Lewis Campbell with help from William Garnett. It is considered a primary historical reference on Maxwell. Published in 1882, shortly after Maxwell’s death, it is today found only in the rare book rooms of large libraries. However, now the entire text of the book with figures included is available here. In December of 1996, I gained access to a copy. As I started reading it, I was moved to engage in a major project: to digitize the book and to convert the images into word processor files (by means of OCR, Optical Character Recognition, software) so that others might enjoy the book as well.

James Clerk Maxwell British physicist who clarified the nature of the Saturn's rings, synthesized the electro-magnetic theory, and prepared the statistical mechanics by developing the kinetic theory of gases. He was born in Edinburgh and studied in Edingburgh and Cambridge. "Maxwell's demon" for showing that the second law of thermodynamics can be broken without contradiction at the level of molecular physics appears in his Theory of Heat (1871); and it illustrates the subtle nature of the kinetic theory which boldly combines Newtonian mechanics with probability theory. Although he held that there are two levels of knowledge (molecular-mechanical, and thermodynamic-statistical), and that the second law of thermodynamics hold only at the coarser level of knowledge, the matter was not as simple as that. Does not the demon need energy for its information processing for the supposed breach of the second law? The nature of irreversibility is still a difficult problem. Also, he is known as the first person succeeded in taking a color photo.

SEARCH Summary Simple Science ... Email James Clerk Maxwell Physics - Famous Scientists - James Clerk Maxwell The Wave Structure of Matter explains James Clerk Maxwell's Equations (1876) and the Finite Velocity of Light Waves In speaking of the Energy of the field, however, I wish to be understood literally. All energy is the same as mechanical energy, whether it exists in the form of motion or in that of elasticity, or in any other form. The energy in electromagnetic phenomena is mechanical energy. ( James Clerk Maxwell The precise formulation of the time space laws of those fields was the work of Maxwell (1870s). Imagine his feelings when the differential equations he had formulated proved to him that the electromagnetic fields spread in the form of polarized waves and with the speed of light! To few men in the world has such an experience been vouchsafed. Only after Hertz (1888) had demonstrated experimentally the existence of Maxwell's electromagnetic waves did resistance to the new theory break down. And what was true for electrical action could not be denied for gravitation. Everywhere Newton's (instant) actions-at-a-distance gave way to fields spreading with finite velocity. At that thrilling moment he surely never guessed that the riddling nature of light , apparently so completely solved, would continue to baffle succeeding generations. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

MAXWELL, James Clerk b. 13 November 1831; d. 5 November 1879 Dr. James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish physicist who made some far-reaching advances on electromagnetism. He held Professorships in a number of institutions, becoming the first Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge University in 1871. His contribution in photography was in his studies of colour . Lecturing at the Royal Institution in London (May 1861) he was the first to demonstrate that by taking three pictures, each through a primary colour filter, and projecting the three using corresponding filters, so that they overlapped, colour pictures could be re-created. In working on his colour theories he collaborated with Thomas Sutton
