A complete set of lecture notes for an upper-division electromagnetism course. The course concentrates on the derivation, properties, and uses of Maxwell's equations. Topics covered include electrostatics, dielectric and magnetic media, magnetic induction, electromagnetic energy and momentum, the emission, scattering, and propagation of electromagnetic radiation, and the relativistic formulation of the laws of electromagnetism. A primer on vector algebra, vector calculus, and vector field theory is also included.

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
