I am a bit depressed, I have just finished my PhD as a physicist and cannot work out this simple question.
I am trying to find out what happens to a static electron in a time varying magnetic field.
This is my understanding:
There are two laws, the Lorentz's force, for moving charges, and the Faraday's Law for time varying magnetic fields.
The electron is not moving, therefore v=0, and Lorentz force = 0
From the Faraday's law, a time varying magnetic field creates a flow of electrons on a closed circuit. But I am not sure what happens to a lonely charge.
Any help and or corrections is appreciated.
Thanks.
