Required Revisions to Classical Electromagnetism
Abstract
It is shown that the generally accepted set of Maxwell s equations is incomplete and an additional law pertaining to the divergence of the induced electric field is required. A major implication is that standard derivations of the wave equations given in the literature are invalid. It is also shown that the standard electromagnetic gauge is fundamentally flawed. The scalar and vector potentials can be addressed without the standard gauge concept, which simplifies the standard formalism.
