We consider a two-particle system in which a particle is held fixed, and the other one rotates around the axis perpendicular to the line joining the particles centers. The rotating particle leads to a displacement of its polarization charge on the surface. Our results show that the rotational motion of the particles generally reduces the force between the particles. The dependence of interparticle force on the angular velocity of rotation will be discussed.
