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?- latentcorpse
