Torque on a Spinning Metallic Sphere Induced by a Time Dependent Magnetic Field

Abstract

The problem of the interaction of radiation with spinning conductive matter is considered. The specific problem which is analyzed leads to the production of the misalignment of a simple gyroscope, a spinning metallic sphere, induced by a time dependent magnetic field. When a time dependent magnetic field is applied to a spinning sphere there is a torque on the sphere caused by the interaction of the incident magnetic field. The problem of calculating the torque on the sphere is treated.
