KnowraGauss's law for magnetismLinked fromLinked fromThe 7 pages that link to Gauss's law for magnetism, each with the reason it gives.All 7Broader topic 2Related 1Compared with 4Maxwell's equationsBroader topic: It expresses the absence of observed magnetic monopoles in the equations.Carl Friedrich GaussBroader topic: The law formalizes the absence of isolated magnetic monopoles, a subject Gauss investigated experimentally.Faraday's law of inductionCompared with: It constrains magnetic fields but does not describe their time-varying induction of electric fields.Magnetic fluxRelated: It constrains flux over closed surfaces, unlike flux through an open surface.Ampère's circuital lawCompared with: It constrains magnetic flux, not circulation around a loop.Gauss's lawCompared with: Its closed-surface equation parallels Gauss's law but allows no magnetic monopole charge.Gauss's law for gravityCompared with: It has no monopole source term, unlike gravitational flux around mass.
