AI Thread Summary
C-EMF is generated by systems like electric motors and inductors, where a changing electromagnetic field induces a counter EMF. This occurs when the current through an inductor changes, altering the magnetic field's magnitude and inducing an opposing EMF. Additionally, a changing electromagnetic field can result from moving a magnet into a coil, which changes the magnetic field through the coil and induces current. Understanding these principles is crucial for applications involving electromagnetic systems. Overall, the generation of C-EMF relies on the dynamics of changing magnetic fields and current flow.

Hi,Do you know systems that generate C-EMF?
Set ups like an Electric Motor? What other system do you have in mind?

Another thing.
I know that CEMF is caused by a changing electromagnetic field. How can an electromagnetic field be changed? Please elaborate! Miyze,

A simple inductor generates a counter EMF when the current through it is changing. This change in current flow causes the magnetic field produced by the current to change in magnitude. When the magnitude changes the field induces an EMF in the coils of the inductor that is opposite to the applied EMF driving the current flow.

As for a changing EM field, it's simply that the magnitude of the field must change or the position in a non-uniform field must change. So when you move a magnet into a coil the magnetic field through the coil is changing as the magnet approaches, which induces a current through the coil.
 
Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
