Abstract:A conductive loop of wire moving with constant velo city in a magnetic field is one of the most used examples in physics textbooks in connection to the Faraday-Lenz law, highlighting the consistency of electromagnetism with the principIe of conservation of energy. It is frequently concluded that currents are not induced in a perfectly conducting loop because an induced current would have to be infinite and therefore would violate the principIe of energy conservation. ln this paper we discuss this problem and s… Show more
