We introduce physical concepts of gradient, divergence, and curl, as a pre-requisite to understanding Maxwells equations. We then present the experimental laws of electricity and magnetism. These laws are described in terms of physical contents and their mathematical representations. Taken together, they suggest no new effects beyond the original experiments they represent. It is only when the displacement current is added that new physics emerges. This physics includes the prediction of the existence of electromagnetic waves which follow from Maxwells equations and transport energy and...
