Title: Inductive electromagnetic effects in solar
current-carrying magnetic loops
Author(s): M. Khodachenko (Oral)
ABSTRACT
Electromagnetic inductive effects taking place in groups of growing
current-carrying loops are studied. Each loop is considered as an
equivalent electric circuit with variable parameters (resistance,
inductive coefficients) depending on a form, scale, position of the loop
with respect to neighboring ones, as well as on the plasma temperature
and density in the magnetic tube. By means of such a model a process of
current generation and temperature change in growing initially
current-free loops, as well as stability of loops in a group were
studied. Three main results of this analysis could be distinguished.
First, possibility of relatively quick build up of significant
longitudinal currents in growing up and initially current-free magnetic
loops is demonstrated. Second, the effect of a fast, flare-like, plasma
temperature increase in inductively connected growing up loops with high
enough currents, $\sim 10^{10} \div 10^{11} \mbox{ A}$, as well as
run-away electrons acceleration in the loops by inductive electric
fields were fixed and studied. And third, basing the dynamical analysis
of a ponderomotoric interaction of current-carrying loops, possibility
of their oscillations or fast change of the loops inclination, leading
to their coalescence and magnetic reconnection, were demonstrated. The
main characteristics of the oscillatoric dynamics of a loop were
calculated.
