Maxwell's Equations/Maxwell-Faraday Equation

Physical Law

$\nabla \times \mathbf E = -\dfrac {\partial \mathbf B} {\partial t}$

where:

$\nabla \times \mathbf E$ denotes the curl of the electric field $\mathbf E$

$\dfrac {\partial \mathbf B} {\partial t}$ denotes the partial derivative of the magnetic flux density $\mathbf B$ with respect to time.

Source of Name
