摘要
Monstein has experimentally established that when a cylinder of metal (any metal, not only a ferromagnetic one) is set in rotation about its axis, the magnetization over its two circular surfaces is proportional not to the angular rotational velocity (as stated by Barnett) but to the respective linear rotational velocity with a magnitude of about 10 mu T for a velocity of 1 m/s. I give the physical explanation of this effect, proceeding from the most simple atomic model, according to which negative charges rotate about a positive nucleus. In the light of these experimental facts one can very easily explain the magnetization of the Earth, of the Sun and of the planets as due to their axial rotations.
