A charge distribution with axial symmetry is allowed to rotate with constant angular velocity around the axis of symmetry. The magnetic field of the resultant current density is calculated in terms of the electrostatic field of the charge distribution. The relation is of greatest utility in the calculation of the magnetic field of a rotating spherically symmetric charge distribution in terms of its electrostatic potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
