They were predicted by Maxwell, who also showed that \[c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}}},\] where \(mu_{0}\) is the permeability of free space and \(\epsilon_{0}\) is the permitivity of free space. Maxwell’s prediction of electromagnetic waves resulted from his formulation of a complete and symmetric theory of electricity and magnetism, known as Maxwell’s equations.

This implies that the battery’s output voltage is reduced by the overload. The reason for the decrease in output voltage for depleted or overloaded batteries is that all voltage sources have two fundamental parts—a source of electrical energy and an internal resistance. This section examines both.

(Point fingers in the direction of the magnetic field, point thumb in the direction of wire movement, and palm shows direction of electron flow.) No current will flow, of course, unless the section of wire is part of a complete circuit.
