A flaw in a textbook derivation of Faraday's law

ORAL

Abstract

It is found that the derivation of Faraday's law in Jackson applies only to special situations, which leave, for instance, already out the important case of a loop rotating in a constant magnetic field. A derivation of the general case is given borrowing some arguments from Landau, Lifshitz and Pitaevskii.
