This paper explores Maxwell’s analogy idea between electromagnetic field lines and incompressible fluid, and explains Faraday’s law and Maxwell’s formula for displacement currents by means of fluid dynamics theory: They show the transport properties of electromagnetic field lines as incompressible fluids, not just effects. Combined of the steady electromagnetic fields, Maxwell’s idea of the analogy between the electromagnetic fields and the incompressible fluids has reached a perfect conclusion. Viewing the electromagnetic field as a vacuum state excited by charges, and extending Maxwell analogy, we consider the gravitowagnetic field as a vacuum state excited by mass. This led to the establishment of the generalized Maxwell equations and the application of this new theory to explain various natural phenomena.
