A Derivation of Faraday's law from Coulomb's Law and Relativity 1.The Progressing Electric Field Model

Authors: Kuan Peng

Faraday’s law is empirically derived and, as such, may be subject to limitations. Notably, it appears to violate the law of conservation of energy in certain contexts. To establish a more robust formulation, it is necessary to derive the law from first principles. In this article, we theoretically derive Faraday’s law using only Coulomb’s law and special relativity. We present the first stage of this derivation: the construction of the 'Progressing Electric Field Model.' This model determines the curl of the electric field produced by moving charges and calculates the electric potential induced in a wire loop within that field.
