    Is this true about the emf in a closed circular wire?

    the emf is defined as the potential difference between two points \varphi(\vec{r_1})-\varphi(\vec{r_2}). ok so let's say we make a trip round a closed circular wire with a battery to keep the current flowing then r1=r2 and so no emf has been done - is this true and if so why?

    Does Faraday's Law Account for Varying Induced Flux in a Loop?

    Faraday's law says induced emf = - d(flux)/dt If this is applied to a loop where induced emf causes currents, and thus flux itself, do we have to consider that flux (of course we don't if it's constant)? If the external flux has a nonzero second derivative, then the induced emf is...
