Covariant Formulation of Classical Electromagnetism - Maxwell's Equations in Matter

Maxwell's Equations in Matter

The result is that Ampère's law,

,

and Gauss's law,

,

combine into one equation:

Gauss-Ampère law (matter)

The bound current and free current as defined above are automatically and separately conserved
