From Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction to Maxwell's Equations
In the teaching of the courses of Electromagnetic Fields and Electromagnetic Waves and Electrodynamics,the derivation from Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction to the equation for a time-varying magnetic field generating an electric field in Maxwell's equations is usually fuzzy.The variation of magnetic flux can be caused by the variation of the magnetic field with time,or by the moving of the conductor loop which is usually neglected.Is the electromotive force generated by loop motion not included in Maxwell's equations?Does the form of Maxwell's equations need to be changed when the medium is in motion?How should the induced electromotive force be understood and defined?These questions deserve discussions.
