The basic laws and underlying concepts of electromagnetic
theory are few in number and beguilingly simple to state. The
formula for any one of them may be written in a space the size of
a postage stamp. [...] There is, however, a vast gulf
between the mere statement and elementary demonstration of these
laws and concepts, and their successful application to specific cases
of practical importance. The passage is often beset not only with
many mathematical difficulties, but also by the fundamental problem
of recognizing just what law, or perhaps what aspect of a given
law, applies to the case at hand. And in this respect none of the
basic laws or concepts has caused more uncertainty or led to
greater misinterpretations —and so-called paradoxes— than
Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction.
[...]
It is then the purpose of this monograph to investigate these points
in some detail and so to formulate Faraday's law, along with suitable
criteria, that there can exist no possibility of a misinterpretation
of this fundamental law which is the principal foundation
stone of electromagnetic theory and electrical engineering.
