Thick square loop made of Al with the top half exposed to a B field

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the behavior of a thick square loop made of aluminum (Al) when exposed to a uniform magnetic field (B field). It concludes that if the magnetic field is indeed uniform, the magnetic flux linked to the loop remains constant, resulting in zero electromotive force (emf) being induced. The analysis further simplifies to applying Newton's second law to a falling body, factoring in the resistive forces acting on it.

Homework Statement
I have figured out most of it, Im just not sure what happens in part h) i.e. when entire loop is exposed to B field.

I might be missing something here, however if the magnetic field is present and uniform everywhere as stipulated in part (h), then the flux linked is constant and zero emf is induced.

It would then just be a case of applying Newton II to a falling body with a resistive force.
