Yes, Maxwell's equations exhibit a degree of symmetry, particularly in how they describe electric and magnetic fields. They reveal a duality between electricity and magnetism, as the equations governing electric fields (Gauss's law and Faraday's law) have corresponding magnetic counterparts (Gauss's law for magnetism and Ampère's law with Maxwell's addition). This symmetry is further emphasized by their form in the relativistic framework, where electric and magnetic fields transform into each other under changes of reference frame. However, it’s important to note that the equations do not exhibit complete symmetry due to the absence of magnetic monopoles in classical electromagnetism.
