Ohm's Law in General Relativity and Coriolis Force Effects in Rotating Conductors

It has been shown that a magnetic field proportional to angular velocity of rotation $ω$ arises around a rotating conductor with the radial gradient of temperature $\nabla_r T$. However, the theoretical value of the proportionality coefficient $10^{-17} {\rm cm}^{5/2}\cdot {\rm g}^{1/2}\cdot {\rm deg}^{-1}$ does not coincide with the experimental one $10^{-8} {\rm cm}^{5/2}\cdot {\rm g}^{1/2}\cdot {\rm deg}^{-1}$ [1]. At least two additional mechanisms act to produce an observable magnetic field in the experiment [1]. First, the fact that the rotation of the conductor is slowed down and second, the nonstationarity of the temperature gradient during the measurements contribute to the vertical magnetic field. The value of the magnetic flux arising from the azimuthal current induced by the ``Coriolis force'' effect on the thermoelectric radial current, is in good agreement with the experimental data [1].
