dc.description.abstract | The article begins with a reference to the first rational approaches to explaining the earth’s magnetic field notably Elsasser’s application of magneto-hydrodynamics, followed by brief outlines of the characteristics of planetary magnetic fields and of the potentially insightful homopolar dynamo in illuminating the basic issues: theoretical requirements of asymmetry and finite conductivity in sustaining the dynamo process. It concludes with sections on Dynamo modeling and, in particular, the Geo-dynamo, but not before some of the evocative physical processes mediated by the Lorentz force and the behaviour of a flux tube embedded in a perfectly conducting fluid, using Alfvén theorem, are explained, as well as the traditional intermediate approaches to investigating dynamo processes using the more tractable Kinematic models. | en |
