Problem

Calculate the force of magnetic attraction between the northern and southern hemispheres of a uniformly charged spinning spherical shell, with radius RR, angular velocity ω\omega, and surface charge density σ\sigma. [This is the same as Prob. 5.44, but this time use the Maxwell stress tensor and Eq. 8.21.]
