New findings show magnetic organization of the Sun
... with the radius of the cylindrical layer that one is observing until it reaches 90 . At that point, the flow is a simple circle, always at right angles to the axis of the cylinder. For ordinary fluid Beltrami flows, a second vortex forms outside of this last flow layer of the first vortex. And in th ...

Force on a Current Carrying Wire
... If the wire is in a magnetic field it will experience a force in the direction dictated by the right-hand rule. While we could measure the force on the wire directly, it turns out to be easier to rigidly fix the wire (in this case an aluminum rod) and measure the force exerted on the horseshoe magne ...

Aurora
An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions. Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere), where their energy is lost. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere. Proton auroras are usually observed at lower latitudes. Different aspects of an aurora are elaborated in various sections below.
