The changing magnetic field induces an electric field in the ring. Let us imagine the ring divided into small sections each of length  Δs and denote the tangential component of the induced electric field by Et (in the general case Et can vary from point to point). The charge on a small section of the ring is
ΔQ=QΔs2πr,                               
Where r is the radius of the ring. The force exerted on it is   ΔFt=ΔQEt                     
And the resultant torque is  Δτ=rΔFt
The total torque experienced by the ring is thus,
τ=Δτ=rQΔs2πrEt=Q2πEtΔs                      
Identifying the expression  EtΔs as the induced electromotive force along the ring, which is directly proportional to the rate of change in the magnetic flux, we have
             EtΔs=ΔϕΔt=πr2ΔBΔt                    
As a result of the torque, the ring, which has a moment of inertia I=mr2, starts to spin with angular acceleration α. During a time interval Δt its angular velocity changes by
                 Δω=αΔt=τIΔt=Q2π(πr2ΔBΔt)1mr2Δt=Q2mΔB
Since the magnetic field strength increases from zero to B, the final angular velocity of the ring will be
                                      ω=QB2m
