  2. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The Earth's magnetic field is believed to be generated by electric currents in the conductive iron alloys of its core, created by convection currents due to heat escaping from the core. A schematic illustrating the relationship between motion of conducting fluid, organized into rolls by the Coriolis force, and the magnetic field the motion ...

  3. Birkeland current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland_current

    Birkeland currents are also one of a class of plasma phenomena called a z-pinch, so named because the azimuthal magnetic fields produced by the current pinches the current into a filamentary cable. This can also twist, producing a helical pinch that spirals like a twisted or braided rope, and this most closely corresponds to a Birkeland current.

    As of 2019, much of the current work is focused on the study of EM fields in relation to cancer. [12] There are publications which support the existence of complex biological and neurological effects of weaker non-thermal electromagnetic fields (see Bioelectromagnetics ), including weak ELF electromagnetic fields [ 13 ] [ 14 ] and modulated RF ...

  5. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    These currents create further magnetic field due to Ampere's law. With the fluid motion, the currents are carried in a way that the magnetic field gets stronger (as long as () is negative [19]). Thus a "seed" magnetic field can get stronger and stronger until it reaches some value that is related to existing non-magnetic forces.

  6. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    The electric and magnetic fields in such a wave are in-phase with each other, reaching minima and maxima together. Electric and magnetic fields obey the properties of superposition. Thus, a field due to any particular particle or time-varying electric or magnetic field contributes to the fields present in the same space due to other causes.

  7. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    An electric current or magnetic dipole creates a magnetic field, and that field, in turn, imparts magnetic forces on other particles that are in the fields. Maxwell's equations, which simplify to the Biot–Savart law in the case of steady currents, describe the origin and behavior of the fields that govern these forces.

    Aurora Australis, or the Southern Lights, is a natural light display caused by solar wind particles colliding with Earth’s magnetic field. This creates colorful lights in the sky, typically ...

    where H 0 is the applied magnetic field due only to the free currents and H d is the demagnetizing field due only to the bound currents. The magnetic H-field, therefore, re-factors the bound current in terms of "magnetic charges". The H field lines loop only around "free current" and, unlike the magnetic B field, begins and ends near magnetic ...
