khaled Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 what is the relation between the magnet we know [ N | W ] and the inner core of the earth, is it some kind of a special massive magnet, or it works with different mechanism ..?
swansont Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 what is the relation between the magnet we know [ N | W ] Did you mean [N | S] ? And what does this have to do with gravity, which is the title of your post?
Charlatan Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 what is the relation between the magnet we know [ N | W ] and the inner core of the earth, is it some kind of a special massive magnet, or it works with different mechanism ..? There is no magnet. Magnets would be metals charged with electrons, but, lo! Here unto is is delivered no charges. Yes yes!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 There is no magnet. Magnets would be metals charged with electrons, but, lo! Here unto is is delivered no charges. Yes yes! Yes there is. This should explain how it works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory Also, magnets are not necessarily charged. Static charges do not create a magnetic field. Moving charges do.
dirtyamerica Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Also, magnets are not necessarily charged. . aka permanent magnets
Double K Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Would you liken earth as a "reactor" more like an electro magnet, or plasma reactor?
swansont Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 aka permanent magnets Not necessarily; this is true of electromagnets as well. Magnetic fields do not require any net charge, only relative motion of charges. i.e. the presence of static charge does not, by itself, imply the presence of a magnetic field.
