Consider the following statements about Maxwell's equations.

1. Two of them are divergence equations   2. One of them has zero on the right in all circumstances   3. They determine the fields without any information about the medium

  • A.1 and 3 only are correct
  • B.1 and 2 only are correct
  • C.1, 2 and 3 are all correct
  • D.2 and 3 only are correct

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only are correct

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: two of the four are divergence equations, and the magnetic one has zero on the right in every circumstance. Statement 3 is wrong - Maxwell’s equations relate the four field quantities but do not connect \( \mathbf{D} \) to \( \mathbf{E} \) or \( \mathbf{B} \) to \( \mathbf{H} \). The constitutive relations of the medium are needed as well before anything can be solved.
