where $$\epsilon_0$$ is the permittivity of free space and $$\mu_0$$ is the permeability of free space. \\
where $$\epsilon_0$$ is the permittivity of free space and $$\mu_0$$ is the permeability of free space.  


In the example of an ideal vacuum with no charge or current, (i.e., $$\rho=0$$ and $$\mathbf{J}=0$$), these equations reduce to:
