### Lorentz force

magnetic forceLorentz force lawLorentz
The magnetic interaction is described in terms of a vector field, where each point in space is associated with a vector that determines what force a moving charge would experience at that point (see Lorentz force).
Both of these EMFs, despite their apparently distinct origins, are described by the same equation, namely, the EMF is the rate of change of magnetic flux through the wire.

### Maxwell's equations

Maxwell equationsMaxwell equationMaxwell’s equations
Gauss's law for magnetism, which is one of the four Maxwell's equations, states that the total magnetic flux through a closed surface is equal to zero.
Equivalent technical statements are that the sum total magnetic flux through any Gaussian surface is zero, or that the magnetic field is a solenoidal vector field.

### Electromotive force

EMFelectromotive force (EMF)
For example, a change in the magnetic flux passing through a loop of conductive wire will cause an electromotive force, and therefore an electric current, in the loop.
For a time-varying magnetic flux linking a loop, the electric potential scalar field is not defined due to a circulating electric vector field, but an emf nevertheless does work that can be measured as a virtual electric potential around the loop.

### Magnetic circuit

Hopkinson's lawMagnetic Circuitsair gap
A magnetic circuit is made up of one or more closed loop paths containing a magnetic flux.

The relationship is given by Faraday's law:
This induction was due to the change in magnetic flux that occurred when the battery was connected and disconnected.

### Electric generator

This equation is the principle behind an electrical generator.
The principle, later called Faraday's law, is that an electromotive force is generated in an electrical conductor which encircles a varying magnetic flux.

### Magnetic monopole

magnetic monopolesmagnetic chargemonopole
(A "closed surface" is a surface that completely encloses a volume(s) with no holes.) This law is a consequence of the empirical observation that magnetic monopoles have never been found.
So that the phase a charged particle gets when going in a loop is the magnetic flux through the loop.

It is an extension rather than an equivalent of magnetic flux and is defined as a time integral

### Electric flux

The flux of E through a closed surface is not always zero; this indicates the presence of "electric monopoles", that is, free positive or negative charges.
