Widdekind Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 The energy density of magnetic fields is [math]U \approx \frac{B^2}{\mu_0} = \epsilon_0 \, c^2 \, B^2[/math]. For an inter-galactic magnetic field strength of ~10-12 T, this produces a mass-density equivalent of 10-35 km/m3. This does not appear to be a principal component of the critical density.
