Il est principalement connu pour avoir unifié en un seul ensemble d'équations, les équations de Maxwell, l'électricité, le magnétisme et l'induction, en incluant une importante modification du théorème d'Ampère. Ce fut à l'époque le modèle le plus unifié de l'électromagnétisme. Il est également célèbre pour avoir interprété, dans un article en quatre parties publié dans Philosophical Magazine intitulé On Physical Lines of Force, la lumière comme étant un phénomène électromagnétique en s'appuyant sur les travaux de Michael Faraday. Il a notamment démontré que les champs électriques et magnétiques se propagent dans l'espace sous la forme d'une onde et à la vitesse de la lumière. Ces deux découvertes permirent d'importants travaux ultérieurs notamment en relativité restreinte et en mécanique quantique. Il a également développé la distribution de Maxwell, une méthode statistique de description de la théorie cinétique des gaz. - In 1865 Maxwell resigned the chair at King's College, London, and returned to Glenlair with Katherine. In his paper 'On governors' (1868) he mathematically described the behaviour of governors, devices that control the speed of steam engines, thereby establishing the theoretical basis of control engineering. In his paper ""On reciprocal figures, frames and diagrams of forces"" (1870) he discussed the rigidity of various designs of lattice. He wrote the textbook Theory of Heat (1871) and the treatise Matter and Motion (1876). Maxwell was also the first to make explicit use of dimensional analysis, in 1871.
