A ring with radius a a , linear charge density λ \lambda and mass m m is fixed at its center. An infinite plane passing through the ring, perpendicular to its plane, is a conductor, but it doesn't touch any point of the ring. At a distance L L of the ring's axis, such that L > > a L>>a , and distance x x from the plane, such that x < < a x<<a there is a stright line with linear charge density Λ \Lambda such that it is parallel to the ring's axis. The value of Λ \Lambda such that generates a current i i at the ring can be written as: α m L ϵ 0 i a λ 2 t \dfrac{\alpha mL\epsilon_{0}i}{a\lambda^2 \cdot t} Where ϵ 0 \epsilon_{0} is the dielectric constant at void and t t is time, find the value of α \alpha For more problems, look at my Own Problems

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 q d t = λ d l d t = λ a d θ d t = λ a θ ˙ i=\frac{dq}{dt}=\frac{\lambda dl}{dt}=\lambda a \frac{d\theta}{dt}=\lambda a \dot{\theta} As x < < a x<<a we can approach it to be on the plane, but always affecting only half of the ring. As a < < L 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 = Q e n c l o s e d ϵ 0 E = Λ 2 π L ϵ 0 \iint_{S}\vec{E}\cdot d\vec{A}=\frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_{0}}\Rightarrow E=\frac{\Lambda}{2\pi L \epsilon_{0}} And, by using the equation of torque: I θ ¨ = a E Q r i n g m a 2 θ ¨ = a 2 λ Λ 2 L ϵ 0 I\ddot{\theta}=a\cdot E\cdot Q_{ring}\Rightarrow ma^2\ddot{\theta}=\frac{a^2\lambda \Lambda}{2L\epsilon_{0}} θ ¨ = λ Λ 2 m L ϵ 0 θ ˙ = λ Λ t 2 m L ϵ 0 \Rightarrow \ddot{\theta}=\frac{\lambda \Lambda}{2mL\epsilon_{0}} \Rightarrow \dot{\theta}=\frac{\lambda \Lambda t}{2mL\epsilon_{0}} i = λ 2 a Λ t 2 m L ϵ 0 Λ = 2 m L ϵ 0 i λ 2 a t \Rightarrow i=\frac{\lambda^2 a \Lambda t}{2mL\epsilon_{0}} \Rightarrow \Lambda=\frac{2mL\epsilon_{0}i}{\lambda^2 at}
