Maxwell okupiĝis ankaŭ pri [[termodinamiko]]. Li inventis konatan [[pensa eksperimento|penseksperimenton]] pri demono (la "demoneto de Maxwell"), kiu kapablu distingi inter rapidaj kaj malrapidaj [[molekulo]]j de enfermita gaso kaj lasi la rapidajn transiri al apuda ujo. Ĉar tiel eblus generi energion (varmon) el nenio, tia demoneto kontraŭas la duan teoremon de termodinamiko. Efektive postaj fizikistoj montris, ke la mezurado de la molekula rapido (kiun la demoneto ja devus fari) detruas la energi-gajnan efikon.
Liaj malkovroj helpis enkonduki en la epoko de moderna fiziko, metante la fundamenton por kampoj kiaj [[Teorio de la relativeco|speciala relativeco]] kaj [[kvantuma mekaniko]]. Multaj fizikistoj konsideras Maxwell kiel la sciencisto de la 19a jarcento kiu havis la plej grandan influon en la fiziko de la 20a jarcento.
