Write down Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction for a moving circuit C(t)C(t) in a magnetic field B(x,t)\mathbf{B}(\mathbf{x}, t). Explain carefully the meaning of each term in the equation.

A thin wire is bent into a circular loop of radius aa. The loop lies in the (x,z)(x, z)-plane at time t=0t=0. It spins steadily with angular velocity Ωk\Omega \mathbf{k}, where Ω\Omega is a constant and k\mathbf{k} is a unit vector in the zz-direction. A spatially uniform magnetic field B=B0(cosωt,sinωt,0)\mathbf{B}=B_{0}(\cos \omega t, \sin \omega t, 0) is applied, with B0B_{0} and ω\omega both constant. If the resistance of the wire is RR, find the current in the wire at time tt.
