A magnetic field mechanism for the origin of planetary motion

摘要

Calculations are made of the paths of earth-sized ejected matter from a star or sun, under therninfluence of gravitational, electrostatic and magnetic forces, assuming an electric potential of thernsun and earth, and that the sun has a very large dipole magnetic field. Generally such paths are arnlarge loop, ending back in the sun. However, if the ejected body has a particular ejected velocityrnappropriate to its mass and is ejected in the equatorial plane of the sun, it can attain a circular orbitrnaround the sun, as in planetary motion. Furthermore, the magnetic forces on the electrical chargesrnon the planet are such as to produce planetary spin. However, extremely large magnetic fields andrnplasma potentials are required, similar or greater than those of neutron stars.
