Does Kirchhoff's Law Hold? Disagreeing with a Master
Why people recommend it
Mehdi Sadaghdar challenges Walter Lewin's conclusion that Kirchhoff's voltage law fails in a changing magnetic field, using a modified experiment; central to a long-running debate.
Watch for: the experiment from 7:24
In their words
In this video, the electrical engineer and youtuber Mehdi Sadaghdar (ElectroBOOM) disagrees with another video from professor Walter Lewin.

To demonstrate this Mr.Boom experiments (see from 7:24 of this video before disagreeing), where he creates a modified version where Lewin's concluded principle must be equally applicable, however in Mr. Boom's equivalent experiment, Lewin's ideal fails.

Others, such as Electroboom/Mehdi have argued (see also here) that the problem with the example Lewin provides lies in measurement technique.
