hmmmmmmm
Will I look stupid by asking somebody to SIMPLIFY Maxwell's equations to me?
either step by step but very gently , or
refer me to a website that can do so.
I need to know about these equations for my study & I do not have a very solid background in Math.
Every resonse is grealy appreciated.
Thank you

They are in their simplified form.
However, you need to understand partial derivatives, scalar products (also called dot products), and vector products (cross products) to understand and work with them.
That's a little tough to explain in a step by step format, since you're not really very specific about your math background. Generally, you need about three semesters of Calculus as a prerequisite for a course on electromagnetics (the course that uses Maxwell's equations).
I will tell you that the problems most students have is because of a lack of understanding of the geometry of a sphere. The rate of change in the surface area of a sphere with respect to a change in the radius is a problem that comes up over and over. Sometimes, I think it's just assumed that students will realize the relationships on their own just by repeated exposure, but at least half the class seemed totally baffled by some of the concepts of electrical charge (net charge ANYWHERE inside a hollow sphere with a charge of uniform density on the surface, for example - or, to illustrate what I mean about some problems occurring repeatedly, the net force of gravity ANYWHERE inside a hollow planet where all the mass is on the surface).

Sorry, can not help you...i don't have all the math symbols etc. needed. I could desire to element out, nevertheless, the wave equation is considerable in physics by using fact it is the 1st theoretically derived velocity of light c that agreed with and maintains to accept as true with observations. c springs out for sure from the gap tensor over B and the time one. to that end, for a given B field, c could desire to equivalent what it does. And it fairly is lots cool and considerable in Einstein's relativity artwork.

Maxwell's Equations are NOT simple math; they leave me baffled. I suggest booking some time with your teacher.

Ooohhhhh........ Before you jump into Maxwells Equations, you probably should do something about your Math background ☺
