Magnetic Field Q?

Consider a conducting ring of mass 2kg & radius 0.5m. It is placed vertical on a smooth horizontal surface. A magnetic field of flux density 10T is along the plane. The angular acceleration of the ring at the instance at which a current of 4A begins to flow, (the moment of inertia of the ring about its axis is 1/2mr^2) is?

    torque=B*I*A

    where B=magnetic field=10T

    I=current=4A

    A=Area of ring=pie*radius(r)^2=3.14*(0.5^2)

    torque=31.4N m

    and since torque=miment of inertia*angular acceleration

    substituting known values

    angular acceleration=31.4/(moment of inertia)

    =31.4/0.5=62.8
