If the magnetic field does grow, then the system is either capable of dynamo action or is a dynamo, but if the magnetic field does not grow, then it is simply referred to as “not a dynamo”. An analogous method called the membrane paradigm is a way of looking at black holes that allows for the material near their surfaces to be expressed in ...
A dynamo machine consists of a stationary structure, called the stator, which provides a constant magnetic field, and a set of rotating windings called the armature which turn within that field. Due to Faraday's law of induction, the motion of the wire within the magnetic field creates an electromotive force , which pushes on the electrons in ...
The solar dynamo is a physical process that generates the Sun's magnetic field.It is explained with a variant of the dynamo theory.A naturally occurring electric generator in the Sun's interior produces electric currents and a magnetic field, following the laws of Ampère, Faraday and Ohm, as well as the laws of fluid dynamics, which together form the laws of magnetohydrodynamics.
The liquid outer core moves in the presence of the magnetic field and eddies are set up into the same due to the Coriolis effect. [18] These eddies develop a magnetic field which boosts Earth's original magnetic field—a process which is self-sustaining and is called the geomagnetic dynamo.

A dynamo can amplify a magnetic field, but it needs a "seed" field to get it started. [59] For the Earth, this could have been an external magnetic field. Early in its history the Sun went through a T-Tauri phase in which the solar wind would have had a magnetic field orders of magnitude larger than the present solar wind. [60]
On the largest scale, the Sun supports an oscillatory magnetic field, with a quasi-steady periodicity of 22 years. [2] [3] This oscillation is known as the Babcock-Leighton dynamo cycle, proposed by Robert B. Leighton, amounting to the oscillatory exchange of energy between poloidal and toroidal solar magnetic field ingredients.
In 2014, a magnetic field around HD 209458 b was inferred from the way hydrogen was evaporating from the planet. [20] [21] In 2019, the strength of the surface magnetic fields of 4 hot Jupiters were estimated and ranged between 20 and 120 gauss compared to Jupiter's surface magnetic field of 4.3 gauss.
The dynamo machine that was developed consisted of a stationary structure, which provides the magnetic field, and a set of rotating windings which turn within that field. On larger machines the constant magnetic field is provided by one or more electromagnets, which are usually called field coils.
