- $$\nabla \times \mathbf{B} = \mu_0 \mathbf{J} + \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}}{\partial t}$$
- $$\nabla \times \mathbf{E} = - \frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}$$
- $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0$$
- $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}$$
In the example of an ideal vacuum with no charge or current, (i.e., $$\rho=0$$ and $$\mathbf{J}=0$$), these equations reduce to:
- $$\nabla \times \mathbf{B} = + \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}}{\partial t}$$
- $$\nabla \times \mathbf{E} = - \frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}$$
- $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0$$
- $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = 0$$
