In this letter, we examine Faraday's law of induction, analysing the electromotive force generated by a Lorentz force and the one generated by an electric field due to a changing magnetic field. We obtain the result in a didactically simple and appealing way. The final formula is derived considering explicitly the dependence of the magnetic field on the space coordinates, which is often neglected in standard textbooks.

Abstract

In this letter, we examine Faraday's law of induction, analysing the electromotive force generated by a Lorentz force and the one generated by an electric field due to a changing magnetic field. We obtain the result in a didactically simple and appealing way. The final formula is derived considering explicitly the dependence of the magnetic field on the space coordinates, which is often neglected in standard textbooks.
