Sentences with phrase «magnetic field lines like»

Magnetic waves in plasma, called Alfvén waves, are thought to ripple through the sun's magnetic field lines like vibrations in a guitar string.

Not exact matches

In an MRI machine, a powerful magnetic field causes protons in the body to line up like violin strings under tension, then a pulse of energy plucks those «strings,» making them hum.

So the north magnetic pole is where the earth's magnetic field lines pull toward the planet, acting like the south pole of a bar magnet.

Physicists believe that the explanation lies in giant waves that spread into space along the Sun's magnetic field lines, making them wobble like a washing line yanked hard at one end.

A team of researchers at the Brazilian Center for Physics Research is studying the motion of vortex domain walls — local regions of charge that collectively store information via their configuration — driven by magnetic fields in ferromagnetic nanowires, which are configured in a straight line with an asymmetric Y - like branch.

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.

Recently, signatures of CO Cameron and CO2 + doublet ultraviolet auroral emissions have been detected with SPICAM (Gérard et al. 2015); they showed that the Mars aurora is a temporary and spatially localized phenomenon appearing near the open - closed magnetic field line boundary in cusp - like structures.

If the dust grains are paramagnetic so that they act somewhat like a magnet, then the general magnetic field, though very weak, can in time line up the grains with their short axes in the direction of the field.

As the magnetic field lines pushed close together, the long lines broke apart and reformed like a single stretched rubber band, forming a slingshot that propels the plasma and releases the energy into the plasma, accelerating the plasma and heating it.

Like magnetic field lines, the curves never appear to cross, but the depicted space accommodates them all just fine.

To run the model input a site longitude, site latitude, date (1950 or earlier), compass heading, log line speed, time duration, and whether or not you would like variable currents and magnetic field declination.
