Homework Statement
I understand that when a conductor ( we assume that it is a thin square sheet with no resistance) move say with a constant velocity perpendicular to a uniform B-field, there will be a current induced in the conductor (eddy current). This induced current will oppose the change in the magnetic flux going through the sheet, i.e. oppose he motion of the sheet.
My question here is how does the current circulate in the sheet? I find it very hard to imagine a configuration that does this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
