tylers100 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 The thinking occurs to me as this: The more shared mass objects (e.g. iron etc inside core) happen due to electromagnetism, would if high amount of that temperature melt iron etc in core resulting in core gravity?

Can you rephrase this in English please ? Edited January 2 by studiot

I realize I was overreaching a bit, I will rephrase (for this planet Earth only for now): Would a high amount of electromagnetism connectivity between object(s) such as iron and other makeup of innermost core, cause these to melt then in turn cause Earth gravity as we know it now?

The short answer is No. Perhaps you would like to consider how your proposal could be compatible with the following comparative data for various bodies in the solar system.

No. Gravitation is proportional to the mass of an object, and does not depend on the object’s composition. The molten Fe/Ni core of the Earth is responsible for its magnetic field, but not gravity.
Ammaniya Posted yesterday at 09:06 AM Posted yesterday at 09:06 AM No, it wouldn’t melt. Electromagnetism does not melt objects. Even if there is a lot of it, the Earth's gravity remains the same. So, iron and other materials, no matter their connection, won’t melt from electromagnetism.

It seems you are unaware of the principle of induction furnaces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_furnace

This contains a fundamnetal inaccuracy mixed up with correct statements. exchemist is correct about the principle of induction heating conductive material. You are correct that this is not the cause of melting deep within a planet. Solid materials from ice to carbon dioxide to methane to iron can melt if the pressure is high enough. The pressure can be high enough due to gravity. If, only only if the resulting liquid is electrically conductive, convective currents within the liquid will generate electric curents according to Faraday's Laws. These curents will in turn generate magnetic fields. Even within the Earth the exact circulatory pattern has yet to be resolved. Edited yesterday at 11:10 AM by studiot
