Time-varying fields, electromagnetic induction, and Faraday's law
When fields change in time, electricity and magnetism stop being separate subjects. This topic restates Faraday's law as a statement about fields, with a sign convention that works for any loop in any field, and uses it to find the voltage induced in a stationary loop.
