Abstract
The scattering of a plane wave by a rotating sphere with finite conductivity is investigated. The problem is solved by means of the "instantaneous rest-frame" hypothesis. It is shown that a surface current must be taken into account to calculate the jump in the tangential magnetic field at the surface of the sphere, even in the case of finite conductivity. The analytical solution shows that the influence of the rotation becomes negligible in the limit of a perfectly conducting sphere.
