What two Maxwell's equations are unified by the single four-dimensional tensor equation?

The single four-dimensional tensor equation μFμν=Kν\partial_\mu F^{\mu\nu} = K^\nu unifies Gauss's Law ( E=ρ/ϵ0\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \rho / \epsilon_0 ) and the Ampère-Maxwell Law ( ×B=μ0J+μ0ϵ0Et\nabla \times \mathbf{B} = \mu_0 \mathbf{J} + \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}}{\partial t} ) into one compact relativistic expression.
