Answer

${\bf 0.853}\;\rm mA$

Work Step by Step

We have here a loop and a changing flux, so we must have an induced current and an induced emf. We know that the induced current is given by $$I=\dfrac{\varepsilon}{R}\tag 1$$ We know that the induced emf $\varepsilon$ is given by $$\varepsilon=\left|\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}\right|\tag 2$$ where $ \Phi =\vec A\cdot \vec B =AB\cos\theta=AB $ since $\theta=0^\circ$, so $$d\Phi = BdA=0.8 y^2 t L dy$$ Integrating, $$\int_0^\Phi d\Phi=0.8tL\int_0^L y^2 dy$$ $$ \Phi=\dfrac{0.8tL }{3} y^3\bigg|_0^L $$ $$ \Phi=\dfrac{0.8tL^4 }{3} $$ Plug into (2), $$\varepsilon=\left|\dfrac{d }{dt}\dfrac{0.8tL^4 }{3} \right| $$ $$\varepsilon=\left| \dfrac{0.8 L^4 }{3} \right| $$ Plug into (1), $$I=\dfrac{0.8 L^4}{3R}$$ It is obvious now that the induced current is constant. Plug the known; $$I=\dfrac{0.8 (0.2)^4}{3(0.5)}$$ $$I=\color{red}{\bf 0.853}\;\rm mA$$
