3.264. A current I flows in a long single-layer solenoid with cross-

ducting liquid with resistivity p. The liquid moves parallel to the

a uniform magnetic field of induction B, vector B being parallel to
the plates and perpendicular to the stream direction. The capacitor
plates are interconnected by means of an external resistance R.

value of R is the generated power the highest? What is this highest
power equal to?
