Electromagnetism | Part IB, 2005

Write down Maxwell's equations in the presence of a charge density ρ\rho and current density J\mathbf{J}. Show that it is necessary that ρ,J\rho, \mathbf{J} satisfy a conservation equation.

If ρ,J\rho, \mathbf{J} are zero outside a fixed region VV show that the total charge inside VV is a constant and also that

ddtVxρd3x=VJ 3x.\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} t} \int_{V} \mathbf{x} \rho \mathrm{d}^{3} x=\int_{V} \mathbf{J ~}^{3} x .
