Scientific paper

A survey is provided of recent theoretical work on the electrodynamics of a moving medium and its application to various geophysical problems, taking into account a theorem reported by Hide (1979). A definition of self-exciting dynamo action in a connected body of fluid is presented and the feasibility of an occurrence of dynamo action in a perfectly conducting fluid is investigated. Attention is given to the decay of axisymmetric magnetic fields, a conjecture regarding the topology of C lines in case of an occurrence of dynamo action, thermoelectric effects, and a method for finding the size of the core of a planet.
