The Magnetic Field of Earth and Other Celestial Bodies ()
ABSTRACT
Majority of models of
terrestrial magnetism try to explain why the main magnetic field of the Earth
near the poles is of the order of 1 Oe. Such statement of the basic problem of
terrestrial magnetism models nowadays is unacceptable. Space flights and the
development of astronomy show a remarkable and earlier unknown fact that
magnetic moments of all planets of Solar system, as well as some their satellites
and a number of stars are proportional to their angular momenta. Therefore,
this geophysical problem turned into a special case of the more general problem
of magnetism of cosmic bodies. This fact makes it necessary to reformulate the
main task of the model of terrestrial magnetism and the Earth as a whole. It
should explain, first, why the magnetic moment of the Earth, as well as of
other space bodies, is proportional to its angular momentum and, second, why
the proportionality coefficient is close to the ratio of world constants—to G1/2/c. This
fact requires a rethinking in the constructing of a model of the internal
structure of the Earth and the reformulation of the main objectives of
terrestrial magnetism, whereas it is necessary to explain why the ratio of the
magnetic moment of the Earth to its torque, as well as for other celestial
bodies, is close to the ratio of universal constants G1/2/c. In
the discussed theory it is shown that one can see that it is energetically
favorable for hot stars to have its core consisting from dense electron-nuclear
plasma with constant density and temperature. It is shown that as for the Earth
it is energetically favorable to have its core consisting from dense
electron-ion plasma. Importantly, all calculated parameters are in an agreement
with measurement results.
