Answer

$a = 8.0~mV/m^2$

Work Step by Step

Note that $a = \frac{B}{t}$, so $a$ is the slope of the $B$ versus $t$ graph. Since the current drops to $\frac{1}{3}$ of its value between $t = 20~s$ and $t = 30~s$, the induced emf in the loop must be $\frac{2}{3}$ of the battery emf and in the opposite direction. Thus the induced emf is $4.00~\mu V$ We can use the magnitude of the induced emf to find $a$: $emf = \frac{d\Phi}{dt}$ $emf = A~\frac{dB}{dt}$ $emf = A~a$ $a = \frac{emf}{A}$ $a = \frac{4.00\times 10^{-6}~V}{5.0\times 10^{-4}~m^2}$ $a = 8.0~mV/m^2$
