I can't do better.

I did not ask to do better. Answer using your own words.

I don't know how to answer your question without further investigation. Let's suppose that we have a varying magnetic field so that going from point A and returning to it again via the path indicated by the dashed line, we find an EMF = 1V like in the picture below.

Now consider that we introduce a piece of wire along the same path so that we have 3/4 of a turn, 1/2 a turn and 1/4 of a turn. What would be the voltages VAB, VAC and VDC following their respective dashed lines indicated in the picture?

Im talking about the field around it due to us all agreeing that circuit analysis (And with that also KVL) works when there is no field.

What 1V jump is there? Its simply voltages measured across the wires inside the magnetic field by taking a different path with the voltmeter. The voltages are there in Dr. Lewins experimental circuit if you probe it just the right way.

The lumped model simply has a different way of expressing the effects of magnetic fields, that's it. The whole circuit still acts identical and that's what matters. Cirucit mesh models are supposed to model the high level behavior of circuits, not model physical electrons moving trough wires and the fields they make around them. As long as the circuit behaves the same its considered a accurate model.

And that's what he did. There is 0.9V across one resistor, and 0.1 across the other. Those are the only voltages present in the circuit. If you're measuring anything else, it's because you are choosing a different path than that of the circuit.

Simple as that.

This is impossible since the lumped model is derived from Maxwell. That's explained by Feynman in his chapter 22.

When Maxwell published his equations, they didn't know about the existence of electrons. Maxwell is about fields and geometry. Every time your circuit is affected by fields or geometry, you'll have to use them.

Unfortunately your "model" doesn't behave the same as Lewin's circuit nor is accurate. In fact it is aberrant. And, if you pardon me, asinine. It proposes the existence of 250mV across a wire that has a resistance of about zero ohms carrying a current of 1mA.

250mV = 0Ω · 1mA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Besides, your model contradicts Faraday's law that states that any circuit under varying magnetic will have its voltages adding up to a value different from zero.

To help you avoid those gross errors, I prepared a quick guide to lumpiness. I hope that it will be useful for you.

I was talking about 1/4 (part) of the winding/turn. No need to introduce anything. It was simple question. - Transformer with single winding/turn with 1/4-turn tap. What's voltage on it if full winding gives 1V?

Can you please provide a schematic of how you get a 1/4 tap from a transformer with a single-turn winding?

Isn't that hilarious? A static wire with a next to zero ohm internal resistance sporting 250mVDC and 1mA!!!

It doesn't need to be a Maxwell expert to realize how moronic that conclusion is. I agree with you.

This one is good enough. There are loads of 1/4 windings, with voltmeters attached:

Right. So you agree that you do not know what EMF actually is.

Dr.Lewin's experiment is transformer. Didn't you notice?  :palm:

So any circuit under a varying magnetic field is a transformer?

I did not say any circuit. I said that Dr.Lewin's experiment is transformer. You are clearly avoiding my quite straight and simple question:

Transformer with single winding/turn with 1/4-turn tap. What's voltage on it if full winding gives 1V?

Got it. I'll replace the batteries of my cell phone with a piece of wire. Why didn't i think of that before?

Well, it is a circuit, innit? It has two resistors and wires connecting them so that current can flow.

But since you said it is a transformer, what are the criteria to consider a circuit under a varying magnetic field a transformer?

In case you did not know - batteries have low internal resistance. That was my point.

Since you do not know what is transformer - why do you even participate in this discussion?

So what? How does it changes Ohm's law you mentioned?

I don't know. Perhaps because you could tell me what a transformer is.
