This study has established and resolved a new mathematical model of a homogeneous, generalized, magnetothermoelastic half-space with a thermally loaded bounding surface, subjected to ramp-type heating and supported by a solid foundation where these types of mathematical models have been widely used in many sciences, such as geophysics and aerospace. The governing equations are formulated according to the Green–Lindsay theory of generalized thermoelasticity. This work’s uniqueness lies in the examination of Maxwell’s time-fractional equations via the definition of Caputo’s fractional derivative. The Laplace transform method has been used to obtain the solutions promptly. Inversions of the Laplace transform have been computed via Tzou’s iterative approach. The numerical findings are shown in graphs representing the distributions of the temperature increment, stress, strain, displacement, induced electric field, and induced magnetic field. The time-fractional parameter derived from Maxwell’s equations significantly influences all examined functions; however, it does not impact the temperature increase. The time-fractional parameter of Maxwell’s equations functions as a resistor to material deformation, particle motion, and the resulting magnetic field strength. Conversely, it acts as a catalyst for the stress and electric field intensity inside the material. The strength of the main magnetic field considerably influences the mechanical and electromagnetic functions; however, it has a lesser effect on the thermal function.
