A moving charge that is part of a steady-current flow (i.e., DC current) in a circuit is, in general, acted upon by non-electrostatic forces contributed by source regions, electrostatic forces contributed by charge distributions and frictional forces within conductors. A new force called induced electric force that acts on such a moving charge makes its appearance in circuits carrying unsteady (i.e., time-varying) currents. This new force component gives rise to a circuit element called inductance.
Consider a source of e.m.f. with a short-circuit across as shown in Fig. 1.4-1. The conducting material inside the source is assumed to be of infinite conductivity. ...
