(Well, I'm having a little trouble getting the sign straight, but one way or the other it should work!)
Mar 4, 2014 at 3:37 comment added Toby Bartels Would it be appropriate to create the tag magnetic-circuits and add it to this question? That seems to be the name of the relevant topic. (Not that I could create it, since I don't have enough reputation on this StackExchange.)

A theoretical way to measure this quantity.

Mar 3, 2014 at 22:29 comment added Toby Bartels The term ‘electromotive force’ is used on Wikipeda for this line integral, citing ‘David M. Cook (2003). The Theory of the Electromagnetic Field. Courier Dover. p. 157. ISBN 978-0-486-42567-2’ (which I have not looked at). In light of Tobias's answer below, perhaps ‘voltage drop’ would be a better term.

Mar 1, 2014 at 9:44 comment added Ján Lalinský "Of course, the term for the line integral of the electric field (electromotive force) is somewhat of a historical oddity" and misleading - electromotive force isn't always given by line integral of the electric field. "Contour integral of electric/magnetic field" is accurate and comprehensible. I do not think there is commonly used shorter expression.
