Hello,
If you have an appropriately oriented conductive ring in a constantly changing magnetic field, current will flow in the ring. There will also be a magnetic field associated with the current in the ring. I understand (maybe ... ) that the current is due to the electric field which is present when a magnetic field is changing.
Assuming there is a point in time when the external magnetic field begins to change, does the magnetic field that is "induced" as a result of the current in the ring interact with the changing magnetic field and result in some sort of dynamics with the magnetic and electric fields or does every thing happen simultaneously (like a electromagnetic wave i.e. you can't have a oscillating electric field without a oscillating magnetic field).
Thanks a lot for any clarity.
