Question

How does the principle of electromagnetism explain the interaction between Earth’s magnetic field and the solar wind? I get that the magnetosphere deflects solar wind, and that solar wind is electrically charged particles from the sun, so electricity is interacting with magnetism, but how does that let electromagnetism explain it?? and please dont just tell me that the magnetosphere just reflects solar particles. tell me how electromagnetism fits into it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

Electromagnetism is defined as the study of the electromagnetic force that takes place between two or more electrically charged particles.

Now, in electromagnetic interaction, the charged particles tend to interact in an electromagnetic manner through the process of exchanging photons. Therefore, it was concluded from various experiments that the magnetic fields lines of forces were always closed, thereby eliminating the possibility of any magnetic monopole in such a manner that within a particular magnetic field, there will be two poles and in the solar system, the electromagnetic attraction between earth magnetic field and solar wind will be by way of a field.
