Greetings all,
Quick question. I know that all 4 Maxwell's equations are said to be first-order, coupled PDEs, where each equation has an unknown field. I see that with Faraday's and Ampere's law, because, E and H appear in each of those equations.
But Gauss' laws, I'm not seeing that, since they're both equal to electric/magnetic charge densities (or 0 in the case of the magnetic law due to there not being magnetic monopoles).
So, are Gauss' laws coupled? And do they still have the unknown fields? Sorry I am not seeing this. I just need a quick "reality check" here.
Thanks!
