Calculating the Induced Field

The net work pushing the charge around the loop is not zero.

The induced electric field is non-conservative. So, we cannotassociate a potential with a non-Coulomb electric field. It is adifferent sort of electric field.However, we also defined the emf as the work per unit charge

E =Wq

If the charge moves through a small displacement d~s, then thework done by the field is

dW = ~F · d~s = q~E · d~s

The work done by the electric field as the charge moves around aclosed loop is

Wclosed curve = q∮~E · d~s

Sharon is in a frame such that this particle isat rest. However, we agree that she mustsee an upwards force on the particle. How??

Well, we defined and electric field as thething that creates a force on a stationarycharge.Therefore, she must measure an electricfield in her reference frame.Changing reference frames converts electricto magnetic fields or vice-versa!

Transformation of Electric and Magnetic Fields

In general, the total EM force on a chargedparticle is called the Lorentz Force

~F = q(~E + ~v × ~B)

The charge is at rest in frame S′ moving atspeed ~V = ~v, so in that frame the force is:

~F ′ = q~E′

Equating ~F with ~F ′ gives us the transformedelectric field

~E′ = ~E + ~V × ~B
