You intend to move a rectangular loop of wire into a region of uniform magnetic field at a given speed so as to induce an emf in the loop. The plane of the loop must remain perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. In which orientation should you hold the loop while you move it into the region with the magnetic field to generate the largest emf?

1.with the long dimension of the loop parallel to the velocity vector
2.with the short dimension of the loop parallel to the velocity vector
3.Either way because the emf is the same regardless of orientation.

Venus and Earth started out with roughly the same amount of water. While Earth still has water in abundance, all of Venus' was lost. Where did it go?

A) It chemically combined with CO2 to form H2CO3.
B) Ultraviolet rays split the hydrogen from the oxygen components, and the hydrogen escaped into space.
C) It all evaporated into space due to the intense daytime heat of 470°C.
D) Scientists are still trying to determine this.
