His family was quite wealthy. The boy&#8217;s father was one of the successful lawyers. Therefore, parents spared no expense for James\u2019 development and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the boy was very curious from an early age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the age of three, James was very interested in everything that moved, made noise or shone and had a constant question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;What&#8217;s the go o&#8217; that?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_boy\"><\/span>Smart boy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having noticed James\u2019 potential, his mother realised that the child needed proper education as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, at the age of eight, the boy could easily recite passages from the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, his mother was completely responsible for the education of the young genius. However, unfortunately, she died of abdominal cancer when James was only eight years old. Therefore, the father and his relatives had to take over his son&#8217;s education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maxwell began his formal education with home tutoring. However, it was unsuccessful because of the teacher&#8217;s incompetence. He didn\u2019t notice the student&#8217;s subtle mental organisation and constantly scolded him and treated him very harshly. As a result, the tutor was dismissed in November 1841.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decisive_event\"><\/span>Decisive event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1842, James and his father attended Robert Davidson\u2019s lecture about electric propulsion and magnetic force.

Despite the boy&#8217;s enormous potential, it was very difficult for him to get used to school. His mannerisms and specific accent immediately attracted the attention of other students and they started to give James offensive nicknames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, later, the boy met Lewis Campbell and Peter Guthrie Tait who would also become famous scientists. Their friendship was life-lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Talent\"><\/span>Talent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>James\u2019 scientific interests evidenced his enormous potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was interested in geometry from an early age. In addition, Maxwell showed great success in poetry and English at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, his knowledge and skills went far beyond the school curriculum. Therefore, he wasn\u2019t very concerned about grades and exam results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maxwell wrote his first scientific paper at 14. There, he covered the mechanical means of drawing mathematical curves using a piece of twine and the properties of Cartesian ovals and ellipses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_ease_and_enthusiastically\"><\/span>At ease and enthusiastically<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>James completed his studies at the Edinburgh Academy in 1847 at the age of 16. After that, he started attending classes at the University of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It must be said that learning was very easy for the young man. Therefore, he had a lot of free time, which he devoted to independent study. Maxwell conducted experiments with electrical, chemical and magnetic devices. He made shaped blocks of gelatin and conducted various experiments on them. Thus, the young scientist discovered photoelasticity, which helps to determine how stress is distributed inside a particular physical object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unexpected_step\"><\/span>Unexpected step<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being an advanced mathematician, Maxwell made a radical decision to leave his native Scotland in the autumn of 1850. He decided to enter the University of Cambridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 1851, one of James\u2019 teachers was William Hopkins. It played a huge role in the development of Maxwell&#8217;s talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His studies at the university came to an end in 1854 and the Edinburgh genius officially obtained a scientific degree in mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James&#8217; significant achievements allowed him to engage in private research, still accomplishing his main duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Experiments_with_colours\"><\/span>Experiments with colours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among Maxwell\u2019s independent studies were experiments with colours, or rather, with their nature and perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientist proved that the white colour is created by mixing green, red and blue ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He even devoted a separate article to colours, which he presented to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1855.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solving_a_pressing_problem\"><\/span>Solving a pressing problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.edinburgh-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2024\/08\/ad_4nxf6p1xnejhfosop82aufjigt_9f_x_pzdogbegnflqvhw3cqn0zy2mq1w-uucrbx74c_nqrm15vflotovxvj1-uwaiigcgtgoyfwcoqlvp2wz2uqv2-b4cvv9a0yrvzf6trjolucsomhi4g5eupfb-kkoidkeyhhbjzadcnf2adowpjw_qnw.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1856, Maxwell became a professor at Marischal College in Aberdeen. From that moment, he began a new stage in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientist developed the curriculum and prepared lectures, combining all of it with the duties of the head of the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, James&#8217; mind was occupied with a new scientific problem of the nature of Saturn&#8217;s rings. Back then, scientists couldn\u2019t understand why the rings were stable and didn\u2019t crash into Saturn or disintegrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maxwell studied this issue for two years. He has proved that an ordinary solid ring isn\u2019t characterised by stability and a liquid ring disintegrates under the action of waves. Since neither the first nor the second feature was observed, Maxwell came to the conclusion that Saturn\u2019s rings consist of numerous small particles and each of them revolves around the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.edinburgh-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2024\/08\/ad_4nxdqcooo3cgtjo-wez9pq7epuqu-hg_oyupwdkuya4ripq6od7kzf-ufh4ti7xseavyn65bodghsqdn9nr45sldvkw6u3z3ynx031tytnkmnd0arb-dts1m6u193arnjgl7eotcvcyuu9hyyshyfvz_x_tskeyhhbjzadcnf2adowpjw_qnw.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.edinburgh-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2024\/08\/ad_4nxdqcooo3cgtjo-wez9pq7epuqu-hg_oyupwdkuya4ripq6od7kzf-ufh4ti7xseavyn65bodghsqdn9nr45sldvkw6u3z3ynx031tytnkmnd0arb-dts1m6u193arnjgl7eotcvcyuu9hyyshyfvz_x_tskeyhhbjzadcnf2adowpjw_qnw.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.edinburgh-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2024\/08\/ad_4nxdqcooo3cgtjo-wez9pq7epuqu-hg_oyupwdkuya4ripq6od7kzf-ufh4ti7xseavyn65bodghsqdn9nr45sldvkw6u3z3ynx031tytnkmnd0arb-dts1m6u193arnjgl7eotcvcyuu9hyyshyfvz_x_tskeyhhbjzadcnf2adowpjw_qnw-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of James Maxwell&#8217;s research were so detailed that he was awarded the Adams Prize for it.

In particular, the scientist studied the nature of magnetic and electric fields. Then he revealed all of his observations in his article <em>On Physical Lines of Force<\/em>, published in 1861.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that work, the author shared a conceptual model of electromagnetic induction, which consisted of tiny rotating cells of the magnetic flux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Numerous_scientific_works\"><\/span>Numerous scientific works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>James decided to leave King&#8217;s College in 1865.

In 1879, he began to feel the first symptoms of a serious illness.
