Abstract

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.
