device that can maintain a potential difference, despite the flow of current
is a source of electromotive force. (EMF) The definition is mathematically
ɛ
=
∮
E

⋅
d
s

ɛ
=
∮
E

⋅

Faraday's
law states
that
ɛ
=
−

Φ
M
∂

ɛ
=
−

This
is simply an experimental fact.
Faraday's law could also be
written
∮
E

⋅
d

=
−

∂

I will leave it as a problem to show that this can also be
written
