As there is a conductor plane, it works as a Faraday Cage . So, only half of the ring is affected by the Electric Field of the line, producing a Torque on the ring and making it rotate. As we know: i = d t d q = d t λ d l = λ a d t d θ = λ a θ ˙ As x < < a we can approach it to be on the plane, but always affecting only half of the ring. As a < < L the electric field made by the line tends to be constant at each point on the ring, so, by Gauss's Law : ∬ S E ⋅ d A = ϵ 0 Q e n c l o s e d ⇒ E = 2 π L ϵ 0 Λ And, by using the equation of torque: I θ ¨ = a ⋅ E ⋅ Q r i n g ⇒ m a 2 θ ¨ = 2 L ϵ 0 a 2 λ Λ ⇒ θ ¨ = 2 m L ϵ 0 λ Λ ⇒ θ ˙ = 2 m L ϵ 0 λ Λ t ⇒ i = 2 m L ϵ 0 λ 2 a Λ t ⇒ Λ = λ 2 a t 2 m L ϵ 0 i
