Let's say you have an open loop (like a section of a circle) in a changing magnetic field. I think there would be an induced EMF, but no current. What I can't figure out, though, is how to calculate the induced EMF. Using Faraday's law doesn't seem to help, as there's no enclosed area.

Homework Statement In Solenoid, is emf E= N. d(phi)/dt, or is it simply d(phi)/dt? Some books contain the latter one. It was not a big deal until i gave a thought about it. Since increasing the N, we are actually increasing the value of n, thus increasing B= (mu) .n.I So, by placing N in front...

The context is an ac circuit with only one element - the inductor. My textbook says that the self-induced emf increases with increasing angular frequency, but I'm having trouble seeing this mathematically. If self-induced emf = ε = -L(dI/dt) and L = X/ω, then emf and ω are inversely related...

Why do EMF meters measure ELF and VLF in flux density units but RF in power density units? Is it because ELF/VLF have low power density and high flux density, and RF has high power density and low flux density? They are all EM waves, right? what's driving the difference in measurement units? thanks

Faraday's law states that emf is proportional to change in flux. The scenario I am using is a magnet is moved towards a closed loop. As it moves towards the loop, flux through the loop is increased causing a emf to be induced. Does I also know that a current is induced. So does that mean current...
