Equations for Electricity <strong>and</strong> Magnetism<br />

• Electrostatics: (no changing fields)<br />

Ed<br />

around any closed curve: this means the work done against<br />

the electric field from A to B is independent of path, the<br />

field is conservative: a potential energy can be defined.<br />

• Faraday’s law of induction: in the presence of a changing<br />

magnetic field, the above equation becomes:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

E d d / dt B dA d<br />

/ dt<br />

<br />

the integral is over an area “roofing” the path. A changing<br />

magnetic flux through the loop induces an emf.<br />
