Bound surface current density on rotating sphere.

994 Views Asked by At

For solid sphere of radius R, azimuthal angle $\phi$ and polar angle $\theta$ rotating at velocity $\vec{v}$ with uniform surface charge $\sigma$ ,

the bound surface current density is

$\vec{K}=\sigma \omega R \sin(\theta)\hat{\phi}$

I'm curious as to why $\vec{v}=\omega R \sin(\theta)\hat{\phi}$

I understand why the $\hat{\phi}$ exists.

Any physical insights into the formulation of the above expression is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
