A straight wire in a changing magnetic field can indeed have an induced emf, contingent on the alignment of the electric field with the wire. When shaped into a square loop centered in a changing B field, the induced electric field can vary based on the loop's distance from the center, suggesting differing emf values. However, according to Faraday's law, the emf induced should remain consistent regardless of the loop's position, as the area and rate of change of the magnetic field are constant. This leads to a perceived contradiction between the varying induced electric field and the uniform emf predicted by Faraday's law. The discussion highlights the complexities of electromagnetic induction and the need for careful consideration of field configurations.
