The Vectorial Nature of Electric Current: Modification of Maxwell?s Equation of the Electromagnetic Field

The theoretical study of physical science and engineering is based on many conventions that have already earned international recognition. But what is it about those conventions that have no resemblance with real-life situations? There is an urgent need to consider and remove such conventions, either with alternative replacements in compliance with real-life situations or deal with a problem where such a convention is used by alternative treatment so as to establish a bridge between theory and practice. Such attempts have been made by the author (Bhattacharjee, 2002, 2008, 2011, 2008). In Bhattacharjee, 2002, a means of removing the most misleading sign convention of geometrical optics has been pointed out with the help of vector algebra.
