Harmonic analysis of the Gaussian series of magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune has made it possible to determine the upper limits of the magnetically active regions of these planets. It is shown that, in the framework of the 'numerical law' of the precession-dynamo model, agreement between measured and calculated values of the dipole fields of Uranus and Neptune is achieved if recently derived parameters of the planets and their satellite systems are taken into account as well as data on the electrical conductivity of the substances composing the magnetically active regions of the two planets. The magnetic field of Uranus is generated in a region where the conductivity is 100 times greater than that on Neptune; this is one of the factors determining the difference in heat fluxes for these two planets.
