Thread moved from the technical forums to the schoolwork forums.
TL;DR Summary: There is a loop of wire placed in a changing magnetic field, there will be an induced electric field here. I am wondering if there can be a potential difference here?
Here is the problem:
A conducting square loop symmetrically encloses a solenoid of radius ##R##. The magnetic field inside the solenoid is directed into the page and increases linearly with time as: ##B = \alpha t##
Neglecting the magnetic field outside the solenoid, find the potential difference between points 1 and 2, which are equidistant from the corners of the square (see figure).
$$\vec{E} = -\nabla V -\frac{\partial \vec{A}}{\partial t}$$
There will be a non-conservative electric field here, and I wonder if it is possible to have a conservative electric field and therefore a potential difference here?
