There's a long conductor carrying a 60 hz AC current. There's a second conductor parallel to the first current carrying conductor, and a hundred meters away from it.
I want to know what the electric potential induced by the changing B field is in the second conductor.
Theoretically I could use the biot-savart law to calculate B and then Faraday's law to calculate the induced electric potential from the changing B. However the alternating current also produces EM waves whose B field would induce an electric potential separate from that calculated by the biot-savart law as described above.
Is it justifiable to ignore the electric potential induced by the EM waves? Why/why not? Or am I just confused?
