As shown in the figure, a rectangular loop of a conducting wire is moving away with a constnant velocity v in a perpendicular direction from a very long straight conductor carrying a steady curent I. When the breadth of the rectangular loop is very small compared to its distance from the straight conductor, how does the emf E induced in the loop vary with time t?
