Faraday's law shows that a changing magnetic field within a loop gives rise to an induced current, which is due to a force or voltage within that circuit. We can then say the following about Farday's Law: Electric Current gives rise to magnetic fields. Magnetic Fields around a circuit gives rise to electric current.
With the help of Stokes' theorem, Ampère's integral law (1.4.1)can now be stated as
That is, by virtue of (2.5.4), the contour integral in (1.4.1) isreplaced by a surface integral. The surface S is fixed in time, so thetime derivative in (1) can be taken inside the integral. Because Sis also arbitrary, the integrands in (1) must balance.
Faraday's Law Formula
This is the differential form of Ampère's law. In the last term,which is called the displacement current density, a partial timederivative is used to make it clear that the location (x, y, z) at whichthe expression is evaluated is held fixed as the time derivative istaken.
- Therefore, we can use Faraday’s law in differential form to understand the manner in which rotational currents are induced in conductive objects, by an artificially generated primary field. According to the Biot-Savart law Section Biot-Savart, current densities are responsible for generating magnetic fields. This implies that currents induced by the primary field will result in the creation of an anomalous magnetic field, commonly refered to as the secondary field.
- Thus the differential form is shown to relate the induced electric field in the n th winding number to the (n+1) th time-derivative of the magnetic field. Faraday’s law of induction in its differential and integral forms is a well-known standard topic which is discussed in many textbooks on electricity and magnetism 1-4.
- Starting with the differential form of Faraday’s law ∇ × E = − ∂ B ∂ t It is a local statement. We first integrate on both sides about an arbitrary surface Σ.

Faraday's Law In Differential Formulas
In Sec. 1.5, it was seen that the integral forms of Ampère's andGauss' laws combined to give the integral form of the chargeconservation law. Thus, we should expect that the differential formsof these laws would also combine to give the differential chargeconservation law. To see this, we need the identity ( x A) = 0 (Problem 2.4.5). Thus, the divergence of(2) gives
Here the time and space derivatives have been interchanged in thelast term. By Gauss' differential law, (2.3.1), the time derivativeis of the charge density, and so (3) becomes the differential formof charge conservation, (2.3.3). Note that we are taking adifferential view of the interrelation between laws that parallels theintegral developments of Sec. 1.5.
Finally, Stokes' theorem converts Faraday's integral law (1.6.1) to integrations over S only. It follows that the differentialform of Faraday's law is
The differential forms of Maxwell's equations in free space aresummarized in Table 2.8.1.
