Ultimately, yes. The B field is produced by the primary current, and the B field (through the core) induces the E field. I've been trying to solidify this for a couple pages.
Why not? Doesn't the primary voltage lead the primary current?

Because it is the current in the primary that creates the E field-not the voltage across the primary. So if it is the E field that is causing the EMF in the secondary, then the secondaries EMF shouldnt appear before the primaries current, as it is the primaries current that causes the E field in the first place-not the voltage.

What are the units of the E field?
What kind of field surrounds the top terminal of a Van De Graaff machine?

OK-you lost me...

You're right of course. I think I understand the need for the diode on the primary now.
Don't hate me for saying this but now I'm not sure I understand why the secondary benefits from a diode. Is it the same basic reason as the primary?

If not I tried to come up with a reason shown in the image. Basically I see the secondary being cut by two different magnetic poles at the same time, which means two apposing currents are flowing, which is bad, so we need to cancel one out. I see the secondary coil being cut by the flux from its own core, and I see the secondary coil being cut by the primary core which are different polarities. If we stop current from flowing in one direction then we have effectively cancelled the effects of one pole. So the secondary coil turns into a N from being cut by its own core and stays an N.

Charge

What kind of field surrounds the top terminal of a Van De Graaff machine?

As the field is stationary,it would be an electric field. If the electric field is moving,then it is an electromagnetic field.

Current is still required to produce that electric field at the top terminal of the Van De Graaff machine.
