Excuse me for being picky, but Britannica is WRONG!In the last scene, the chalkboard shows the four Maxwell equations in differential form. The third equation (Faraday's Law) is missing a negative sign. It should say - dB/dt...and yes I know those are partial derivatives, but I cant type those symbols.
At the end with Professor Britannica, the 3rd Maxwell Equation is wrong. It should be Del cross E = - dB/dtThe curl of the electric field is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the magnetic field.

Why would anyone want to know that?!

Just curious, Is there an opportune XKCD for this?I think so, but I can't remember how old it was.
