Q1Moderate
The continuity equation is a combination of which of the two laws?
View answer & solution
Correct answer: B. Ampere law and Gauss law
Quick explanation
The continuity equation follows by taking the divergence of the Ampère-Maxwell law and using Gauss' law. This yields ∇·J = -∂ρv/∂t.
∇×H = J + ∂D/∂t
0 = ∇·J + ∂(∇·D)/∂t
∇·J = -∂ρv/∂t
