If a loop is not complete, and magnetic field passing through it is changing; will their be emf induced in the loop?

In a setup like the one show in the figure: Will there be an induced EMF across the loop(given that the field is increasing)? (my dilemma is : since the loop is not complete, we cannot define the ...

With induced voltage, what is the electric potential difference?

Lets say we have a closed circular loop of wire in a constant magnetic field in the (-z) direction. If I suddenly make the circular loop smaller (meaning a smaller surface area), I will induce a ...

Is the concept of motional EMF consistent with Faraday's Law?

Consider a circular homogeneous metallic coil sliding on a smooth horizontal surface in a region of uniform magnetic field $B$ which is perpendicular to the face of the coil. By Faraday's law, the net ...

Metal/good conductor frame in a changing magnetic field

Imagine that we put a metal/good conductor frame into a changing magnetic field. Due to the fact that this is an electromagnetic induction phenomenon, an induced EMF can be measured between the two ...

How to calculate retarded potential (for magnetic field calculation) for a group of current carrying loops where the magnitude of current is changing?

For constant current, the magnetic field seems to be easy to calculate because of Biot-Savart Law. For a loop having varying magnitude of current (simplifying an electromagnet), however, it seems that ...

Induced voltage as a difference of potentials on a ring

If you put a ring (Picture 1) of wire into changing magnetic field, the process called magnetic induction creates induced voltage. Voltage is by definition (Definition 2) the difference in electric ...

Uniform electric field formation in motional emf induction

Why is the electric field $E$ across the ends of a conducting rod, when it's moved with a uniform velocity $v$ in a magnetic field $B$, uniform? Wouldn't it vary non-linearly, since there are opposite ...

What is the meaning of Potential Difference in presence of Non-Conservative Induced Electric Field?

Case 1 This is a very commonly discussed case in Electromagnetic Induction. In the case above, we need to find out the potential difference across the rod CD, in the presence of time-varying ...

Potential drop across inductors in DC circuits

The potential drop across an inductor is equal to $L(di/dt)$ where $L$ is inductance coefficient. But according to this in a DC circuit there should be no potential drop across the inductor (because $...

EMF developed in a varying magnetic field

Let's say there's a cylindrical varying magnetic field (varying at a constant rate) and I have a conducting body, let's say a rod placed in a plane perpendicular to magnetic field. I am having a ...
