A line charge λ per unit length is pasted uniformly on to the rim of a wheel of mass m and radius R. The wheel has light non-conducting spokes and is free to rotate about a vertical axis as shown in figure. A uniform magnetic field extends over a radial region of radius r given by B = −B 0 k ^ ( r≤a ; a<R ) = 0 (otherwise). What is the angular velocity of the wheel when this field is suddenly switched off ?
