Could someone help me out please? I am especially confused for plates moving into magnetic fields

Wait so how would you apply that to this situation?Hey mate;
Do you know the right hand solenoid rule? It's very very useful for eddy currents.
An eddy current will always work to oppose an induced magnetic field; basically,
the plate doesn't want to go into the magnetic field - and it creates a current (and hence a magnetic field to oppose it).
If you think about the velocity vectors in a plate moving into a field; the current direction parallel to the vector should be going the other way.
It's a bit of a convoluted topic.
Okay; compartmentalise the magnetic field into two halves; one going out of the field, one going in.Wait so how would you apply that to this situation?
