Sun’s Puzzling Plasma Recreated in a Laboratory
I&#x27;ve never understood how the sun&#x27;s magnetic fields are described as entities in their own right. Isn&#x27;t a magnetic field a result of a moving charge, and not a thing that can exist on its own?<p>Or is that simply a shorthand way of saying the plasma creating the magnetic field is moving which causes reconnection, etc.?<p>But the plasma is also described as moving <i>because</i> of the magnetic field moving!<p>So which is it? Anyone able to explain?
