Q9 / 68 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Electromagnetic Induction
A ring of mass is uniformly charged with a linear charge density and kept on a rough horizontal surface with a friction coefficient of . A time-varying magnetic field is applied in a circular region of radius perpendicular to the plane of the ring as shown in the figure. Find out the time when the ring just starts to rotate on the surface. (take , and SI units)

Correct answer: 4
Solution
Induced electric field,
Torque due to field about centre of ring,
The ring starts rotating when,
due to electric field due to friction.
Solving,
.
Torque due to field about centre of ring,
The ring starts rotating when,
due to electric field due to friction.
Solving,
.
Hence, the correct answer is 4.
