The Rotating Magnet

General Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Space Physics

Abstract

Axisymmetric permanent magnets become electrically polarized due to their rotation around the symmetry axis. This phenomenon is considered in detail for both conducting and dielectric magnets. The results are applied to the Earth which is predicted to be electrically polarized. It is suggested that this polarization can be detected in a tethered satellite experiment.
