  1. Obtain an expression for the mutual inductance between a long straight wire and a square loop of side a as shown in Fig.
  2. Now assume that the straight wire carries a current of $50A$ and the loop is moved to the right with a constant velocity $, v = 10\ m/s.$ Calculate the induced emf in the loop at the instant when $x = 0.2\ m$. Take $a = 0.1\ m$ and assume that the loop has a large resistance.
