Thanks a ton guys. This was exactly the kind of help I was looking for.
So the wire needs to extend from the surface of the moon, not the ring. And (if I understand correctly) were it otherwise, the ring would be displaced by the transfer of energy. But such an effect on a moon would be negligible. The cool thing is, now I can even talk about this conceptually in the narration.
