Detailed Solution

When the shell rotates, current is induced due to motion of charge. To calculate magnetic induction at centre of the shell, rotating shell can be assumed to be composed of thin circular current carrying rings. Such a ring can be assumed as follows: Consider a radius of the shell inclined at angle 'θ ' with the axis of rotation. This radius is rotated about the axis keeping ,, constant. Thus a circle is traced as shown in fig.

Its radius, r = Rsinθ
Distance of its centre from centre of the shell, x = Rcosθ
Now consider another radius inclined at angle (θ+). It is also rotated in the same way and another circle is traced. The portion between two circles forms a circular ring.
Area of this ring =2πrRdθ=2πR2sinθdθ
Charge on this ring, dq=σ.2πR2sinθdθ
Hence, current associated with the ring considered,  i=S2πdq=σSR2sinθdθ
Since, centre of the shell is a point lying on the axis of a circular soil of radius r, carrying current iat a distance x from centre of
the coil, therefore, magnetic induction at centre of the shell due to this coil is dB=μ0ir22r2+x23/2=12μ0σSRsin3 
Hence, resultant magnetic induction at centre of the shell B=dB=12μ0σSR0fsin3θdθ=23μ0σSR
Its radius, r = Rsinθ
Distance of its centre from centre of the shell, x = Rcosθ
Now consider another radius inclined at angle (θ+). It is also rotated in the same way and another circle is traced. The portion between two circles forms a circular ring.
Area of this ring =2πrRdθ=2πR2sinθdθ

the coil, therefore, magnetic induction at centre of the shell due to this coil is dB=μ0ir22r2+x23/2=12μ0σSRsin3 
Hence, resultant magnetic induction at centre of the shell B=dB=12μ0σSR0fsin3θdθ=23μ0σSR
