Electromagnetic Magic: The Relativistically Rotating Disk

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

A closed form analytic solution is found for the electromagnetic field of the charged uniformly rotating conducting disk for all values of the tip speed vv up to cc. For v=cv=c it becomes the Magic field of the Kerr-Newman black hole with GG set to zero. The field energy, field angular momentum and gyromagnetic ratio are calculated and compared with those of the electron. A new mathematical expression that sums products of 3 Legendre functions each of a different argument, is demonstrated.
