Dear colleagues, My question here refers to the EMF induced in an incomplete ring that is stationary amidst a time dependent magnetic field. We know from Faraday's law that EMF is created upon changing the magnetic flux, either by changing the intensity of the field, or by changing the...

Hello everyone. I'm trying to understand how an 'induced' emf behaves on a current carrying conductor. Basically the example that's giving me problems is in the case of a motor, if a current starts to pass through a coil it will get an induced 'emf' to oppose the motion. And hence it...
