Thank goodness, I was getting worried that I was talking total nonsense.

I hope I'm not muddying the waters here. But surely that voltage 
induced in the conductors _is_ the very same E-field you're looking 
for? I reckon the V=M*di/dt that you see is just Maxwell's curl E = 
-dB/dt but seen from a circuits perspective instead of a fields one.
