Homework Statement


If the magnetic field lines held within a closed path are constant and unchanging, will there be an electric field along the closed path?


Homework Equations


there are none.


The Attempt at a Solution


No. If it is unchanging, then no electrical energy will be radiated into the surroundings, therefore rendering it impossible for an electric field.


I just need a confirmation of my answer - I'm not really sure about all this closed path business.

Thanks in advance.
