N2  - The steady currents (and the associated steady magnetic fields) generated in a conducting sphere placed in a rotating magnetic field are calculated in the weakly nonlinear limit. It is found that the steady driven current has a poloidal and a toroidal component. The steady toroidal magnetic field associated with the driven poloidal current has opposite senses above and below the equatorial plane; the net toroidal flux is zero. The relevance of this result to some recent observations in the Rotamak experiment is discussed.
