### Electromagnetic Induction with a Rectangular Loop and a Straight Wire

**Introduction:**
A loop of wire in the shape of a rectangle with width \( w \) and length \( L \), and a long, straight wire carrying a current \( I \) lie on a tabletop as shown in the figure below.

**Figure Details:**
- A long, straight, horizontal wire carries current \( I \) toward the right.
- A rectangular loop of wire, with length \( L \) and height \( w \), lies below the straight wire.
- The length \( L \) is parallel to the straight wire, and the top edge of the loop is a distance \( h \) below the straight wire.

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries current \( I \) toward the right. A rectangular loop of wire, with length \( L \) and height \( w \), lies below the straight wire. The length is parallel to the straight wire, and the top edge of the loop is a distance \( h \) below the straight wire.

**Questions:**

### (a) Magnetic Flux Calculation
Determine the magnetic flux through the loop due to the current \( I \). (Use any variable stated above along with the following as necessary: \( \mu_0 \)).

\[ \Phi_B = \text{______} \]

### (b) Electromotive Force (emf) Calculation
Suppose the current is changing with time according to \( I = a + bt \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are constants. Determine the magnitude of the emf (in V) that is induced in the loop if \( b = 20.0 \, \text{A/s} \), \( h = 1.00 \, \text{cm} \), \( w = 20.0 \, \text{cm} \), and \( L = 1.15 \, \text{m} \).

\[ \text{emf} = \text{______} \, \text{V} \]

### (c) Direction of the Induced Current
What is the direction of the induced current in the rectangle?
- [ ] clockwise
- [ ] counterclockwise
- [ ] The magnitude is zero.
