Problem

The rectangular loop shown below moves into a region of uniform magnetic field at a speed of v=2.5 cms.
The dimensions of the rectangle are l=10 cm and b=40 cm. The magnitude of the field is B=0.6 T.
Find the magnitude of the average emf induced in the loop as it fully enters the magnetic field.
|εavg|=
