The induced emf between 0 and P   

\begin{aligned} & =\varepsilon=-\mathrm{\frac{d \phi}{d t}=-\frac{d(B A)}{d t}=-B \frac{d A}{d t}} \\ & =\varepsilon=\mathrm{-B \frac{d}{d t}\left[\frac{r^2}{2} \theta\right]=-\frac{B r^2 \omega}{2} \quad\left(\because \omega=\frac{d \theta}{d t}\right)} \end{aligned}

The potential gradient   =\frac{\mathrm{d} \varepsilon}{\mathrm{dr}}=\left(\frac{-\mathrm{B} \omega}{2}\right) \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{r}}\left(\mathrm{r}^2\right)=-\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{r}

\Rightarrow the corresponding electric field =\mathrm E =\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{r}

\Rightarrow \mathrm E_{\max }=\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{R} .

Where, \omega = maximum angular speed of the rod, that is possible
when it becomes vertical.

Conservation of mechanical energy between horizontal and vertical
yield,

      

 

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm {\Delta P E_{g r}+\Delta K E_r=0 }\\ & \mathrm {-m g \frac{R}{2}+\frac{1}{2} I_0 \omega^2=0 }\\ & \mathrm {\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{3 g}{R}}, \text { since } l_o=\frac{m R^2}{3}} \end{aligned}

Putting the value of \omega_o we obtain

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm {E_{\max }=B \sqrt{\frac{3 g}{R}} \cdot R} \\ & \mathrm {\Rightarrow \quad \frac{E_{\max }}{B}=\sqrt{3 g R}} \end{aligned}
