...is perpendicular to the plane, consistent with a scenario where the outflow is dragging the field along with it. Magnetic field Do these magnetic field lines extend forever, channelling matter into intergalactic space, or do they turn over, directing...
... can be created from a current loop – a simple loop of wire with a current flowing through it creates a magnetic field. The problem is that the magnetic field needed for this technology to work has to be big, kilometres of radius big, not metres, and...
... Earth’s high latitudes to be more slowly redistributed. We are left to contemplate the effects of a similar event with a leading magnetic field anti-aligned for a long interval. It seems safe to say that the resulting geomagnetic storm would have...
... repelled and sent back out into space, the ions are being trapped in Jupiter’s magnetic field. When this happens the magnetic field gets compressed, which in turn heats up the ions. This then triggers a phenomenon called electromagnetic...
... pouring out from the Sun. This shield, or rather magnetic field as we know it by, also means that our planet comes...over three times as fast as it usually does. Without the magnetic field, our little world would most likely resemble that of our ...
... an ionosphere). Now you no longer have the armature of a dynamo but that of a motor. You’re cranking against Earth’s magnetic field and the electrodynamic tether rises. Space elevators Clearly this is a relative of the now-famous space elevator...
