The correct Answer is:
To determine which of Maxwell's equations have sources of the electric field \(\vec{E}\) and the magnetic field \(\vec{B}\), we will analyze each equation step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Equation (i) The first equation is given by: \[ \oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{S} = \frac{q_0}{\epsilon_0} \] This equation is Gauss's law for electricity. It states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within that surface. Thus, this equation has a source for the electric field \(\vec{E}\) (the charge \(q_0\)). ### Step 2: Analyze Equation (ii) The second equation is: \[ \oint \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{S} = 0 \] This equation indicates that the magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero, implying that there are no magnetic monopoles (sources) in classical electromagnetism. Therefore, this equation does not have a source for the magnetic field \(\vec{B}\). ### Step 3: Analyze Equation (iii) The third equation is: \[ \oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l} = \frac{d}{dt} \oint \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{S} \] This is Faraday's law of induction, which relates the electric field around a closed loop to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop. While it describes how an electric field can be induced by a changing magnetic field, it does not have a source for the electric field \(\vec{E}\). ### Step 4: Analyze Equation (iv) The fourth equation is: \[ \oint \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{l} = \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{d}{dt} \oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{S} \] This is Ampère-Maxwell law, which states that the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop is related to the rate of change of electric flux through the loop and the current. However, it does not have a source for the magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) in the classical sense. ### Conclusion From the analysis: - Equation (i) has a source for \(\vec{E}\) (the charge \(q_0\)). - Equation (ii) does not have a source for \(\vec{B}\). - Equation (iii) does not have a source for \(\vec{E}\). - Equation (iv) does not have a source for \(\vec{B}\). Thus, the equations which have sources are: - **(i)** for \(\vec{E}\). ### Final Answer The equation which has a source of \(\vec{E}\) is (i). There are no equations with sources for \(\vec{B}\). ---
