A conducting ring of radius \(R=10 m \) is placed in a homogeneous magnetic field, perpendicular to its plane. A constant current \( I=0.1 A\) flows through the ring. It is known that the ring breaks if its tension is greater than 5N. What is the maximum magnetic field \(B_{max}\) in Teslas that one can apply without breaking the ring? Neglect the magnetic field created by the current in the ring.
