A neutral solid conducting cylinder rotates about its axis with angular speed 1600 rad/s. In addition, there is an external magnetic field of induction B directed along the cylinder's axis. What must the magnitude of the magnetic field in Teslas so that no electric field is created inside the conductor?
Hint: The material is originally neutral. If electric fields are created, then what would that imply about the distribution of the electrons in the metal?
