J.C. Maxwell
James Clerk Maxwell was a pioneering physicist who formulated the fundamental equations describing electricity, magnetism, and light, now known as Maxwell's equations. His work revealed that electric and magnetic fields are interconnected and can propagate as waves—light being one of them. This unified understanding advanced physics, leading to innovations like radio, television, and wireless communication. Maxwell's insights provided the foundation for modern electromagnetic theory, profoundly impacting science and technology in everyday life.
