In sections 29.1 and 29.2 on pages 760 and 762 the "conceptual" statement of Faraday's law is inconsistent with the "quantitative" statement in section 29.5 on page 771. The former talks about current while the latter talks about voltage.
Suggestion:
In section 29.2, replace all the galvanometers with voltmeters. Replace every mention of current with voltage.
Rationale: There is nothing to lose by doing this, and much to gain. For starters, the voltage version applies to _all_ loops including non-conducting loops, superconducting loops, and even imaginary loops. In contrast:
The experiment suggested in figure 29.11 in section 29.3 fails in the zero-conductivity limit: We get a change in flux but no current.
The same experiment fails in the infinite-conductivity limit: We get a current but no change in flux through the loop.
