Surfing the fields and flares....just watch where you are going.
Curious - apply an electrostatic charge to a ball, spin it.
Would it generate a magnetic field along the axis of spin ?
What happens to the static electric field ?
Would centripetal force affect the field ?

Since electrons are so small relative to protons and neutrons they're assumed to be massless, so it's safe to say that centripital force won't affect them. But as it pertains to current and magnetic fields there's the "Right Hand Rule" where you hold up your hand with the thumb up and the other fingers curled. The thumb represents the electrical current and the other fingers are the magnetic field induced by the current [inductance].
