What causes the electric field in a changing magnetic field?

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of a loop containing a changing magnetic field that induces an electric field. This is explained through Faraday's Law and the analogy of a gas cylinder bursting and picking up all the pieces. The conversation also touches on the source of the electric field.

well consider a loop L a very big one i.e enclosing a large area. say in some small part of the lopp say approxiamtely at it's centre there is a magnetic field(only in that small area the field is present) which keeps changing with time.so is an inducede mf developed in the loop
yes farady's law says so.but doesn't that seem so anti-intutive.it's like a gas cylinder bursts in arctic and the fire is in antarctic:tongue2:

The field isn't present in a small area, it spreads out for ever, getting weaker.
But the big ring of wire is able to collect the field over a large distance and 'add' all the weak bits of field together.

It's like a gas cylinder bursts inside a bank vault and you pick up all the pieces of shrapnel easily or a gas cylinder bursts in an aircraft hanger, you still pick up all the same pieces of the cyclinder - you just have to walk further to do it.

hmmm. nice correlation
so what is that that produces the field(electric)
 

What is a contra-intuitive problem?

A contra-intuitive problem is a problem or situation that goes against common sense or expectations. It may seem counterintuitive or illogical, but upon closer examination, there may be a logical explanation or solution.

Why do we encounter contra-intuitive problems?

Contra-intuitive problems can arise due to a variety of factors, such as biased thinking, limited perspectives, or incomplete information. They can also be a result of complex systems or scientific phenomena that are difficult to understand at first glance.

How can we approach contra-intuitive problems?

One approach to solving contra-intuitive problems is to use critical thinking and question our initial assumptions and biases. We can also seek out different perspectives, gather more information, and think creatively to find alternative solutions.

What are some examples of contra-intuitive problems in science?

One example is the "Monty Hall Problem," a probability puzzle that goes against our intuition and has a surprising solution. Another is the "Birthday Paradox," which shows that in a group of just 23 people, there is a 50% chance that two people will share the same birthday, defying our expectations.

Why is it important for scientists to consider contra-intuitive problems?

Contra-intuitive problems can challenge our understanding and lead to new discoveries and breakthroughs. By questioning our assumptions and pushing the boundaries of our knowledge, we can advance science and our understanding of the world around us.
