Abstract

The scattering pattern of a plane wave incident on a rotating cylinder is distorted by rotation, generating a force perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder and to the propagation of direction as the Magnus force in hydrodynamics. Using a relativistic description of rotations, we investigate the electromagnetic Magnus effect for a plane wave of the E-type and for a good conducting circular cylinder rotating with a small angular velocity. We prove that the Magnus force is zero for a rotating perfectly conducting cylinder.
