The Interplanetary Magnetic Field

AI Thread Summary
To estimate the voltage imposed in the magnetopause by the interplanetary magnetic field, the law of electromagnetic induction should be applied. The size of the magnetopause can be assumed to be ten times the Earth's radius for calculations. Resources on the magnetosphere are available online to aid in understanding the relevant concepts. The discussion emphasizes the need for guidance rather than direct answers. Engaging with these resources will help in tackling the problem effectively.

I need to calculate an estimate of the voltage that would be imposed in the magnetopause by the interplanetary magnetic field using the law of electromagnetic induction. I can assume the size of the magnetopause to be 10 times the radius of the earth.

I am not expecting anyone to give me the answer. I just need some advice on how to tackle the problem.

Thanks a lot.

There's lots of good websites on the magnetosphere, so check them out.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
