Closed loop integral of Electric Field dotted with dL

I am struggling to wrap my head around Faraday's law: $$\oint\mathbf{E}\cdot d\mathbf{l} =-\frac{d\Phi}{dt} = -\frac{d}{dt}\int_S\mathbf{B}\cdot d\mathbf{S}$$ Integral of an Electric field dotted ...

Suspicious EMF equation

Some context: I am trying to get the equation of motion for a dipole magnet falling through copper pipe. To proceed I need to calculate the EMF. We can do this by using Faraday's law, $$\oint_{\...

Electric potential vs electromagnetic potential questions

We were all taught about the electric potential $V$, which is defined up to a constant, and can be measured with a voltmeter or an oscilloscope. On the other hand, in electromagnetism are defined the ...

Induced voltage from magnetic field

Suppose we have a surface S(x,y) = x^2-2y for 0<x<2,0<y<5 , and a magnetic field (2t,3t+1,t). To find the total magnetic flux through the surface S we find a normal vector to S n = (-Sx,-...

Nature of force between two permanent magnets

When we put two permanent magnets close to each other they repel or attract each other and this process increase their kinetic energy. I know that magnetic force can't increase kinetic energy so plz ...

Total Energy of an electromagnetic wave

This question may sound stupid. But why when we calculate the total energy density (energy/volume), carried by an electromagnetic wave $u_T$, we add both $u_B$ + $u_E$. Where $u_B = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}...

Electric field of moving charge

Does the electric field of a moving charge (constant velocity) change with time? Or it remains the same? I know that changing electric fields produce a magnetic field, but in a straight, current-...

Electric field in a vacuum

By changing the magnetic field can we generate electric field in a vacuum ? By the Faradays law of EMI if the magnetic field associated with a coil changes, current is induced in that coil So if we ...

Current through grounded conductor in uniform electric field

I want to know that, if we place a conductor inside of uniform external electric field then opposite charges will get induced on the both sides of conductor, so what if we connect two earth wire to ...

Potential in electric field by magnetic induction

There is a point written in my book (S.L. Arora- Simplified Physics Part-1)- Electric Potential is meaningful only for electric fields produced by stationary charges. It has no meaning for electric ...

Where does the energy stored in inductor go on opening the switch?

Suppose we have a simple RL circuit. At $t=0$, I close the switch so that current starts flowing in the circuit. When the steady state is achieved, current $i=\frac{\epsilon}{R}$ would be flowing in ...

Confusion regarding charge on capacitors

While I was studying about capacitors I realized that charge on the outer surface of the plates is zero when both the plates are given equal and opposite charges. Now mathematically, this realization ...
