Imagine a dielectric cylinder placed in a uniform magnetic field parallel to its axis.
Then we make it rotate around its axis.
The nuclei and electrons should feel a radial lorentz force because of their rotation around the axis of cylinder.The forces applied to electrons and nuclei are in opposite direction so the atoms should become polarized and there should arise a [itex] \vec{P} [/itex] field in the dielectric.But this [itex] \vec{P} [/itex] field is not due to an electric field but a magnetic field.
I can't find explanations or formulas regarding polarization due to magnetic fields.
Can somebody help?
Thanks
