SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the electromotive force (EMF) induced in a small loop placed inside a long solenoid with n turns per meter, carrying a sinusoidally varying current of amplitude i. The correct formula for the induced EMF is identified as EMF = nABω sin(ωt), where A is the area of the loop, B is the magnetic field, and ω is the angular frequency. The initial attempt to derive the EMF using the magnetic flux approach was incorrect, leading to confusion regarding the proper application of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
