If anything it's frustrating that there aren't monopoles, because if there were, we could make the E and B equations symmetrical under interchange of the fields

If anything it's frustrating that there aren't monopoles, because if there were, we could make the E and B equations symmetrical under interchange of the fields. It would be a lot prettier, and I think it would be easier to teach to undergrads.
- danbruc 3y agoI mean you could just do that and tell the students that the magnetic charge and current densities are always zero unless we eventually discover monopoles.
- BlueTemplar 3y agoHow about a single equation instead ? http://www.av8n.com/physics/maxwell-ga.htm http://www.av8n.com/physics/maxwell-ga.htm (or even just equations (3), which make symmetries more apparent)
