{ ∂F₁₂/∂x₃ + ∂F₂₃/∂x₁ ∂F₃₁/∂x₂ = 0.

This system of equations corresponds to the second system of equations of Maxwell. We see it at once if we put

{ F₂₃ = Hx F₁₄ = Ex

{

(61) { F₃₁ = Hy F₂₄ = Ey

{

{ F₁₂ = Hz F₃₄ = Ez

Instead of (60a) we can therefore write according to the usual notation of three-dimensional vector-analysis:—

{ ∂H/∂t + rot E = 0

(60b) {
