Electromotive force and Lorenz Force HELP

AI Thread Summary
In a scenario where a rectangular coil without current moves at velocity v perpendicular to an infinitely long wire carrying a constant current i, the Lorentz force is not zero. Although the coil initially experiences only electromotive force (EMF), this induced EMF generates a current in the loop. This current interacts with the magnetic field produced by the wire, resulting in torque acting on the coil. Additionally, variations in the magnetic field can create a net force on the coil, indicating that the dynamics involve both torque and force due to the interplay of induced currents and magnetic fields.

If I have a rectangular coil with no current flowing on it traveling at a velovity v; and I have an infinetely long wire with a constante current i on the same plane of the rectangular coil which velocity v is perpendicular to the wire, is the lorenz force equal to zero because I have only electromotive force?

That's a little complicated. The induced EMF will set up a current in the loop and that will interact with the primary magnetic field (from the wire). The primary effect will be torque acting on the loop but gradients in the applied field will yield a net force on the loop.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
