Scientific paper

It is shown that the combined effect of electrodynamic and gravitational forces can account for a number of features observed by Voyagers 1 and 2 in the isolated fine dust rings of Saturn. These include the appearance and disappearance of the braids in the F-ring, the eccentricities of the F-ring and the ringlets within the Encke and Cassini divisions and a gap in the C-ring, and the kinks in the eccentric Encke ring. They may also account for the very existence of these rings.
