| Title | Letter from Harold A [Albert] Wilson, Trinity College, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Wilson; Harold Albert (1874-1964); British physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 23 January 1903 |
| Description | Wilson is thinking of making measurements of the electric force induced in dielectrics moving in a mganetic field. His idea is to rotate a hollow cylinder of dielectric about its axis, in a parallel magneitc field. He describes this arrangement in more detail, with a rough diagram of the intended equipment. He asks Larmor if he thinks there will be an effect, and his intention is to apply to the Royal Society for a grant to cover the equipment costs. |
