Contribuições de Maxwell para o eletromagnetismo.

Abstract

The Electromagnetism is an area of ​​Physics that has borne most fruit for Science, crucial to the modern avango, allowing humanity to come out of darkness and create new technologies. It arose due to the observation of natural phenomena of the magnetism and electrification and gradually evolved. This work makes a study history of Electromagnetism, placing the physical outlets James Clark Maxwell as the main character for the consolidation of Electromagnetism. In particular, analyzing Maxwell's before and after. We will see the first steps of Electricity, Magnetism and Optics, as well as a brief biography of Maxwell and his contributions to the discovery of electromagnetic waves and the unification of light with Electromagnetism.
