Time-Varying Fields and Maxwell’s Equations

Two New Concepts:

The electric field produced by a changing magnetic field (Faraday)
The magnetic field produced by a changing electric field (Maxwell)
Faraday's Law

Any change in the magnetic environment of a coil of wire will cause a

voltage (emf) to be "induced" in the coil. No matter how the change is
produced, the voltage will be generated. The change could be produced by
changing the magnetic field strength, moving a magnet toward or away from
the coil, moving the coil into or out of the magnetic field, rotating the coil
relative to the magnet, etc.

Faraday's law is a fundamental relationship which comes from Maxwell's

equations. It serves as a succinct summary of the ways a voltage may be
generated by a changing magnetic environment. The induced emf in a coil is
equal to the negative of the rate of change of magnetic flux times the number
of turns in the coil. It involves the interaction of charge with magnetic field.

Faraday's Law

Lenz’s Law
When an emf is generated by a change in magnetic flux according to Faraday's Law, the
polarity of the induced emf is such that it produces a current whose magnetic field opposes
the change which produces it. The induced magnetic field inside any loop of wire always acts
to keep the magnetic flux in the loop constant. In the examples below, if the B field is
increasing, the induced field acts in opposition to it. If it is decreasing, the induced field acts
in the direction of the applied field to try to keep it constant.

A nonzero value of emf may result from of the situations:

1 – A time-changing flux linking a stationary closed path

2 – Relative motion between a steady flux and a closed path
3 – A combination of the two

The divergence of the curl is zero, and so the Del of J.

However, the equation of continuity

Then it shows that Del  H J can be true only if

This is an unrealistic limitation and Del  H J
