    How does an induced emf occur in a wire without contact with the magnetic field?

    A circular loop of wire has a changing magnetic field running through it...however, the magnetic field is not touching the wire; its contained so that it simply runs through the loop without touching the wire. Apparently, there is still an emf through the wire even though the magnetic field is...

    Induced Emf in a Loop of Circular Wire

    Induced Emf For a loop of circular wire, there is a changing magnetic field running through it, but it is restricted to a region that is within the region of the loop of wire, so the field only runs through the loop of wire (it does not touch the loop of wire). Apparently, an emf is generated...
