The diagram shows a circuit having a coil of resistance $$R=2.5$$Ω and inductance L connected to a conducting rod PQ which can slide on a perfectly conducting circular ring of radius $$10$$ cm with its centre at 'P'. Assume that friction and gravity are absent and a constant uniform magnetic field of $$5$$ T exists as shown in figure.At t $$=$$ $$0$$, the circuit is switched on and simultaneously a time varying external torque is applied on the rod so that it rotates about P with a constant angular velocity $$40$$ $$rad/s$$. Find magnitude of this torque (in$$ milli $$Nm) when current reaches half of its maximum value. Neglect the $$self-inductance$$ of the loop formed by the circuit.
