The simple fact that the maximum value of volume current density was increased with
increasing magnetic field line chaos, called «chaoticity,» suggests a direct proportionality between the intensity of the current sheet and chaoticity.

As matter falls into it and
increases its spin, it stores energy; it releases energy again and slows down a bit as the
magnetic field lines accelerate charged particles.
The blackhole acts like a flywheel: As matter falls into it and
increases itsspin, it stores energy; it releases energy again and slows down a bitas the
magnetic field lines accelerate charged particles.
Researchers produce such heating by aiming microwaves at the electrons gyrating around
magnetic field lines — a process that
increases the thermal energy of the electrons, transfers it to the ions through collisions, and supplements the heating of the ions by neutral beam injection.
The
increased equatorward wind at middle latitudes tends to push the ionosphere higher up along
magnetic field lines, where the loss rate is lower.
