How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Motional emf for a moving material circuit: emf = -flux derivative
The moving-loop flux rule for the strict branch of the adopted framework: a C2 embedded material sheet swept over a compact finite elementary Green region with a single-valued C1 material velocity, in a jointly C2 vacuum-Maxwell field branch on a compact subinterval with no singularity crossing. It asserts no formula for loops crossing singular sources, no fixed-loop formula for arbitrary moving loops, no field uniqueness and no empirical claim; the Lorentz reading of the integrand is the adopted coupling and is not used in the algebraic identity.
Statement
Assume Countable Choice (), with the exact meaning of The Axiom of Countable Choice (), inherited from the Maxwell and transport suppliers below. Let be the laboratory region with , , the constants of Framework-local SI units, the vacuum constants and the exact/measured status of their values; let be fields and source fields of The electric and magnetic fields as fixed-time spatial vector fields and Charge parameter, frame charge and current densities, volume charge and flux, and the four-current, jointly of class and respectively on , satisfying the smooth branch of The microscopic vacuum Maxwell equations: smooth and weak branches pointwise on . Let be a moving material circuit of C2 moving material circuit: swept patch, single-valued material velocity, flux and electromotive force with time interval , and fix a compact subinterval such that the swept set is compactly contained in (no singularity crossing). Put and let be the oriented boundary chain of (b) of the definition, with trace .
Then the flux of C2 moving material circuit: swept patch, single-valued material velocity, flux and electromotive force is differentiable at every with for every each elementary-piece frozen patch is a test geometry of Fixed volume and patch test geometries, outward normals and induced orientations, the fixed-patch Faraday identity holds, and consequently the electromotive force of the circuit satisfies For subluminal material speeds and the external test-charge premises of The Lorentz coupling: external force on a test charge and the continuum force and power densities(i) with the tensor and worldline conventions in C2 moving material circuit: swept patch, single-valued material velocity, flux and electromotive force(c), is the instantaneous laboratory momentum force per unit nonzero charge. Its oriented circulation equals minus the flux derivative; this adds a force interpretation without asserting a charge's actual work along a spacetime traversal of the circuit. The result is conditional on the joint regularity, the smooth Maxwell branch and the no-singularity-crossing hypothesis; it asserts no fixed-loop formula for arbitrary moving loops, no field uniqueness, no statement about singular supports and no empirical claim.

A moving material circuit is the data : a compact finite elementary Green region with its positive boundary chain, extending to a map on a neighbourhood of with on the interior of and injective on for every , and a single-valued velocity field with on a neighbourhood of the swept set.

The electromotive force of the circuit at is the vector line integral over the oriented boundary chain with trace , in the piecewise convention, with unit V; the definition asserts no relation between emf and . (C2 moving material circuit: swept patch, single-valued material velocity, flux and electromotive force).
The transport formula needed here is established in step 1.1 from the explicitly typed circuit data and the calculus and Stokes suppliers below. Transport of flux through a moving patch supplies the general parametrized formula; the present argument independently derives the identity for the explicitly typed material circuit.
A patch test geometry in is a regular surface patch over a finite elementary Green region: finite elementary Green region, of class on an open neighbourhood of , on the interior of , and no interior parameter point shares its image with a distinct point of ; its induced boundary chain is with the circulation of the piecewise convention, and its oriented flux is .

Proof
Write and . These functions have continuous time derivatives on a neighbourhood of . Fix any and a compact nondegenerate time interval around it contained in ; [F14], with the Riemann/Lebesgue comparison on a bounding rectangle, gives . Put . Compatibility and [F16] give , . The elementary determinant identity follows by expanding in the three columns and checking the standard-basis triples (repeated indices cancel; distinct indices give the trace). With , , it yields . Thus [F16] gives . Here all spatial derivatives are at fixed laboratory time on the open time slice of . Since by [F9], integrating and applying [F15] on each elementary piece, then cancelling oppositely oriented internal arcs, gives . Parameter integrals add over the pieces because they have disjoint interiors and null boundaries; [F14] transfers this finite Lebesgue additivity to the Riemann integrals. This argument applies at every .
Fix . Every elementary is the closure of its nonempty connected interior, hence is a compact Jordan parameter region. The frozen restriction of is , has nonzero parameter cross product on that interior, and is injective, so it is a patch test geometry of [F4]. Apply [F5] to each such fixed spatial patch, differentiating its flux with respect to a separate field time and evaluating at . Sum the resulting identities and cancel internal arcs as in [F15]. This gives . The separate variable keeps this fixed-patch derivative distinct from the moving flux derivative.
On each arc of , additivity of the Euclidean pairing [F11] and Riemann integral linearity [F12] split the line integral of into those of and ; summing the arcs gives by [F2] and [F13]. Substitution of step 1.2 into step 1.1 proves for every .
The claimed differentiability, transport formula, elementary-piece test geometries, fixed-patch Faraday formula and emf identity follow from steps 1.1–2.1. The transport identity agrees with the general parametrized formula of [F3]. The additional subluminal external-test-charge reading is the local coordinate-force calculation of C2 moving material circuit: swept patch, single-valued material velocity, flux and electromotive force(c) from The Lorentz coupling: external force on a test charge and the continuum force and power densities(i); it does not replace relativistic momentum by and is unused in the integral algebra. Countable Choice is carried through the comparison and Maxwell interfaces. The regular fields and compact swept graph on exclude singularity crossings. No empirical or full matter-dynamical assertion is made.
