Rowlanda, a bearded experimenter, spins a glowing charged disc beside a compass.

The Physics

In 1876, in Helmholtz's Berlin laboratory, Henry Rowland charged an ebonite disc and spun it fast. A magnetic needle nearby deflected (Am. J. Sci. 15, 30, 1878). A moving charge makes a magnetic field, just as a current in a wire does: current is charge in motion.

B ∝ q v

  • B: magnetic field near the disc (T)
  • q: charge on the disc (C)
  • v: rim speed (m/s)

It answered whether ‘convection’ of charge counts as a current: it does.

Honest caveat: The deflection was tiny, a fraction of Earth's field; the full Biot–Savart form is needed for real numbers.
