Curly Electric Fields
In the case where current in a solenoid is constant and magnetic force is likewise constant in time, it can be observed that the magnetic and electric forces experienced by some moving charge outside the solenoid are essentially zero.
However, in the situation where current in the solenoid is changing and magnetic force is thereby time-varying, a curly electric field can be observed.
