Abstract

We argue that acceleration induces electric polarization in usual dielectrics. Both accelerations in superfluid participate in the medium polarization. Excitations contribution to the polarization is calculated at low temperatures. Estimates of the effect show order of magnitude agreement with recent experimental results on electric effect of superflow.
