ABSTRACT:
There was elaborated a method for calculating magnetic fields of the Solar
System planets. It is based on the quantum theory of electroconductivity of
metals and semiconductors. The latter helps to calculate thermoelectrical
processes, always taking place in the bowels of “hot” planets. Main elements of
those processes are planetary temperature gradients, thermo electromotive
force and radially directed thermoelectrical currents, which are associated
with Seebeck effect. Thermo electromotive force causes directional movement
of planetary thermoelectrical currents both in metal cores and other conductive
shells of planets. Those currents are big and they generate magnetic fields
of proportional intensity. The capacities of the calculation method were tested
while finding the reason why the Jupiter magnetic field is such complicated.
As a result it was specified that the source of the main magnetic field of a planet
is its metal core and the source of an additional magnetic field is the layer
of liquid metal hydrogen. There was also found the third source of a local
magnetic field of low intensity along the circular zone of the equatorial region.
The conclusion that the Jupiter’s main magnetic field has a polarity opposite
to the Earth’s one.
