Dec 12, 2023 at 1:08 comment added naturallyInconsistent @SamGallagher After two earlier statements giving the same idea that you are suggesting, I do not see the point of holding back at that point. It is quite important to hammer in the idea that, contrary to expectations, there is no uniquely positionally defined voltage function whenever magnetic fields are changing.
Dec 11, 2023 at 14:30 comment added Sam Gallagher It's too strong to say "Kirchoff's Law is wrong" it just requires a slight modification, including an induced EMF term in the KVL expression (e.g. add an equivalent voltage source in the network). Circuit theory is supposed to be practical, just make the adjustment in this special case. IMO instead of "implies Kirchoff's Law is wrong" we should say "Kirchoff's Law is incomplete unless you include induced EMF"
