Are the Maxwell's equations enough to derive the law of Coulomb? @Daniel Blay: I guess when you say usual tricks you mean taking a spherical surface around the point charge. The problem for me is that how do we know that the magnitude of the electric field from a point charge is spherically-symmetric. Besides how can we derive that there is no magnetic field (if it is possible to derive from Maxwell's equations)? :)
