We obtain analytically, within a relevant framework, the rigid-body motion of a solid, conducting and ellipsoidal particle immersed in a liquid metal and subject to uniform ambient electric and magnetic fields. The motion experienced exhibits a few basic properties that are briefly discussed. © 2003 Académie des sciences/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
