Faraday’s Law of Induction is false! I am referring to the version which employs the total derivative. The one which employs the partial derivative is the Maxwell-Faraday Law, which is one of Maxwell’s equations, and is subsumed in Faraday’s Law. Faraday’s Law describes a fictitious phenomenon. It is pseudoscience. Consider an expanding circuit in a static magnetic field whose field lines are orthogonal to the plane of the circuit. There will be a motional emf in the circuit due to the motion of the conductor through the magnetic field. This principle is specified by one term of the Lorentz force equation and is independent of any other principle. Faraday’s Law also specifies an emf in the circuit due to the changing magnetic flux linking the circuit. This emf has the same value as the motional emf. But the two emfs are independent and therefore must add. This gives the wrong value for the emf in the circuit. Thus Faraday’s Law is false. The changing flux has no effect. The fact that the value of the emf specified by Faraday’s Law is the correct value is due to correlation, not causation.
