How does a changing magnetic flux induce an electromotive force in a loop?

AI Thread Summary
A changing magnetic flux through a loop induces an electromotive force (EMF) according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The relationship is expressed mathematically as EMF = ∫E · dl, indicating that the EMF is related to the electric field along the loop's length. Lenz's law states that the induced EMF will generate currents that oppose the change in magnetic flux. Clarification on specific points in the loop may require diagrams for better understanding. Overall, any variation in magnetic flux over time results in an induced EMF that influences current direction.

Consider a loop which is subjected to a magnetic flux variation. Among the points that turn there will be the electromotive force induced?

Yes. ##EMF = \int E \cdot dl##

The induced electromotive force between that point?

What point? Possible diagram could be useful to clarify you're "point".
In terms of induced EMF, any form of change in the magnetic flux over time will induced and EMF now by the ends do you mean sides?
Consider Lenz's law too, when such an induced EMF is created it will induce currents to oppose the change.

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...
