Answer to @mes's Question
In Faraday's law of induction, the constant is not exactly equal to zero, but rather it's a matter of how we define the electric field and the magnetic flux.
The law states that a changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (EMF). The equation is ∮E⋅dl = -dΦ/dt, where E is the electric field, dl is the differential length element, and Φ is the magnetic flux.
In the physical sense, the constant (often represented as a negative sign) signifies the direction of the induced EMF. It ensures that the induced current flows in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux, according to Lenz's law.
So, it's not that the constant is zero, but rather it's a fundamental aspect of how electromagnetic induction works.
