James Clerk Maxwell (1831 – 1879, Scottish) was a mathematical physicist who built upon superb experimentalist, Michael Faraday (1791 – 1867, English) whose study of electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction which today forms the basis for electric motor technology, by providing the unifying formalism of mathematics so necessary in understanding the electromagnetic nature of light itself. Significantly it was Faraday who first demonstrated that magnetic fields bend light rays and, therefore, showing the underlying commonality of these two seemingly disparate phenomenon.
"A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field", published 1864, by James Clerk Maxwell sets forth the unifying proposition that electric and magnetic fields are identical phenomenon of 'electromagnetism' traveling through space as waves moving at the speed of light where, hence, light itself is integral of this same phenomenon.
