1Earth's magnetic field — Computer simulation of the Earth s field in a normal period between reversals.[1] The tubes represent magnetic field lines, blue when the field points towards the center and yellow when away. The rotation axis of the Earth is centered and… …
2Dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field — Plot showing field lines (which, in three dimensions would describe shells ) for L values 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 5 using a dipole model of the Earth s magnetic field The dipole model of the Earth s magnetic field is a first order approximation of the… …
3Magnetic field — This article is about a scientific description of the magnetic influence of an electric current or magnetic material. For the physics of magnetic materials, see magnetism. For information about objects that create magnetic fields, see magnet. For …
4Magnetic field of celestial bodies — See also Earth s magnetic field The magnetic field of a rotating body of conductive gas or liquid develops self amplifying electric currents, and thus a self generated magnetic field, due to a combination of differential rotation (different… …
5Magnetic field (disambiguation) — A magnetic field is the physical phenomenon produced by moving electric charges and exhibited by ferrous materials. Magnetic field or magnetic fields may also refer to: Directly related to primary meaning: Earth s magnetic field Magnetic field of …
