    What is the difference between induced

    and motional emf?


    Physically, they're the same, but historically this was not understood until special
    relativity.
    We have a loop of wire and a bar magnet. In one experiment, we move the magnet
    towards the loop of wire. The flux through the loop increases. The loop now has a
    current, meaning there is an electric field pointing around the loop. This is induced EMF.
    Induced EMF is calculated using the change in flux through a stationary loop.
    In a second experiment, we hold the magnet still and move the loop towards it. We start
    the same distance away and move the same speed, but change the role of stationary and
    moving agents. Now, B/t=0 because the magnetic field is not changing, so there is
    no induction. Instead, there is a Lorentz force on the charge carriers in the loop because
    they are moving through a magnetic field. The induced current works out to be exactly
    the same as before, though.
    Physically, the same thing is happening, but the mathematical description is different
    depending on whether you view it from the rest frame of the magnet or the rest frame of
    the loop. One of the most important physics papers ever, Einstein's "On the
    Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", begins by pointing out this strange coincidence.
