Scientific paper

It is shown that the observed magnetic field of Uranus is a vector sum of fields generated by the turbulent dynamo in the core of the planet and the thin conducting shell surrounding the core. The large inclination of the dipole moment to the axis of rotation is connected with the predominant excitation of an axisymmetric field in the core, and the predominant excitation of a nonaxisymmetric field in the conducting shell. A configuration with a small inclination of the dipole to the axis of rotation is expected for Neptune.
