Induced EMF in a Wooden Ring with Time Varying Magnetic Field

AI Thread Summary
A wooden ring exposed to a time-varying magnetic field will indeed experience induced electromotive force (EMF) due to the changing magnetic field, which generates an electric field. This phenomenon occurs regardless of the presence of a conductor, as the electric field exists even in a vacuum. Understanding this concept can be enhanced by studying Maxwell's equations, which describe the relationship between electric and magnetic fields. While a conducting loop is necessary for an induced current to flow, the induced electric field itself is present in the wooden ring. The key takeaway is that the changing magnetic field is the source of the induced electric field.

Suppose i have a wooden ring and a time varying magnetic field is passed through it. Then will there be induced emf.

Sure. The changing magnetic field creates an induced electric field.
 
The induced EMF would be present even in a vacuum! :)
 
That's what written in the book. The ans is yes. but i am not able to appreciate the fact. WHY?
 
As I said before, it's the changing magnetic field that induces an electric field. (To understand that better, explore Maxwell's equations.) Perhaps you are thinking of an induced current: that will require a conducting loop. But the electric field is there, conducting loop or not.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
