Abstract
The electric field within a ring containing repulsively interacting electrons is estimated using the spinless Luttinger-liquid model extended to allow transverse excitations due to the radial centrifugal force. The radial voltage drop across a ring, threaded by the Aharonov-Bohm flux, consists of a flux-periodic part that is independent of the interaction, and a flux-independent part that is proportional to the square root of the inverse compressibility of the electron gas. The voltage drop obtained from perturbation theory is consistent with Bernoulli's equation.
