- James Clerk Maxwell: (1831 – 1879) Scottish physicist best known for his formulation of electromagnetic theory and the statistical theory of gases. [e]
- Maxwell equations: Mathematical equations describing the interrelationship between electric and magnetic fields; dependence of the fields on electric charge- and current- densities. [e]
- Maxwell (unit): Gaussian unit of magnetic flux; symbol Mx; 1 Mx = 1 abV⋅s = 10−8 Wb. [e]
- Maxwell's demon: A gedankenexperiment in which information is used to reduce the entropy of a thermodynamic system; often described as a paradox in relation to the second law of thermodynamics. [e]
