NO. 2. 99 ON PONDEROMOTIVE FORCE UPON A DIELECTRIC WHICH CARRIES A DISPLACEMENT CURRENT IN A MAGNETIC FIELD. By ROBERT H. GODDARD. INTRODUCTORY. A CCORDING to Lorentz's theory of a material dielectric as being composed of elementary charges, such a body should, when carry- ing an electric displacment current in a magnetic field, experience a ponderomotive force similar to that which acts upon a conductor when carrying a conduction current in a magnetic field. Also, a pondero- motive force should be present in the analogous case of a body, of per- meability greater than unity, when carrying a magnetic displacement current in an electrostatic field. The present paper deals with these two researches, neither of which has hitherto been successfully performed. An attempt made by Whitehead' to demonstrate the presence of the first of these forces has given a negative result. Lorentz,2 R. Gans,3 and Kolhcek,4 have shown this fact to be in agreement with electrical theory, without however suggesting a way by which a positive result could be attained.
