What is the Origin of the Electric Field in F-N-L's Law?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the origin of the electric field in Faraday's Law, specifically in the context of the equation involving the electric field E and magnetic field B. The electric field E is defined as E = F/q, where F is the force acting on a charge q. Participants clarify that the intensity of the electric field is typically associated with electrostatic conditions, which have zero circulation. The conversation seeks to understand how the electric field arises in dynamic situations where magnetic fields change over time, as described by Faraday's Law. Ultimately, the focus is on the relationship between the electric field and the changing magnetic field in this context.

Good evening. Can anyone explain me the origin of the electric field in the F-N-L's law ?
I'm referring to this one :

\int_l \vec E^* d\vec l =-\int_s \frac{\partial \vec B}{\partial t} d\vec S

where \vec E^* is defined as (i'm reporting the words of the book) :
\vec E - \vec v \times \vec B.

in particular what is \vec E and what is its origin.

It's the intensity of the electric field.


E=\frac{F}{q},
where F is the force, which the field acts on the electric charge


Intensity of the electric field is used to characterize the electric field.
 
But that is the electrostatic field and its circuitation is 0 !

do you want to know where the E field comes from in faradays law or how E is related to B in that equation.
 
This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
