Difference between Dielectric and Maxwell's equations

Dielectric vs. Maxwell's equations

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. Maxwell's equations are a set of partial differential equations that, together with the Lorentz force law, form the foundation of classical electromagnetism, classical optics, and electric circuits.
