One of his equations shows that there is no electric field in any neutrally grounded area, which is why it's safer to be in your car than outside during a lightning strike.
One of his equations shows that there is no electric field in any neutrally grounded area, which is why it's safer to be in your car than outside during a lightning strike. His equations also state that no monopoles exist in nature, and that most magnetic charges are dipoles. He lends his name to the surface used in finding electric fields, and he also found the formula for summing a long list of numbers at the age of 8. For 10 points, name this German scientist who contributed two of the Maxwell Equations.
