Calculating Eddy Current Power Loss in Solenoid System | Copper Plate Experiment

[Orlando]

I have an experiment in which I have two solenoids where one induces an EMF in the other. I then introduce copper plates between the two coils and measure the decrease in induced EMF in the second solenoid. How could I calculate the power loss due to eddy currents induced in one of the copper plates? What equation(s) would I need to use? I can't find any source online so please help! I am not talking about power loss due to heat, i am talking about power lost in the system of the two solenoids.
