Wilson experiment [`wil·sǝn ik´sper·ǝ·mǝnt] ELECTROMAGNETISM An experiment that tests the validity of electromagnetic theory; a hollow cylinder of dielectric material, having layers of metal on its outer and inner cylindrical surfaces, is rotated about its axis in a magnetic field parallel to the axis; a sensitive electrometer, connected to the metal layers, indicates a charge that has the magnitude and sign predicted by theory. |
