A metal ring having three metallic spokes of length r = 0.2 m is in a vertical plane and can spin around a fixed horizontal axis in a homogeneous magnetic field of a magnetic induction B = 0.5T. The lines of magnetic field are perpendicular to the plane of metal ring. Between the axis of the metal ring and its perimeter we connect a consumer of resistance of 0.15 Ω with the help of two sliding contacts. We fix a thread of negligible mass to the rim of the ring and wind it several times around the ring and to its end we fix a body of a mass of 20 g. At a given moment we release the body of mass m. The friction is negligible everywhere, the resistance of the ring, the spokes and the connected wiring is also negligible.

(i) What is the torque exerted on the ring with spokes by the magnetic forces when the body of mass m is moving with a constant velocity –
