Problem

A rectangular aluminium plate 10 cm10\,\text{cm} long and 5 cm5\,\text{cm} wide is pulled horizontally at a steady speed of 2.0 m s−12.0\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} into a region where a uniform magnetic field of 0.50 T0.50\,\text{T} is perpendicular to the plate. The eddy currents flow around loops whose effective resistance is 0.020 Ω0.020\,\Omega. Calculate the magnitude of the retarding force acting on the plate when its leading 10 cm10\,\text{cm} edge is fully inside the field.
