The Repulsion Force Between Ice Bodies in Dense Rings of Saturn, J.C. Maxwell Proposed in 1856
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: J.C. Maxwell concluded: disk of Saturn’s dense rings can be stable only if it consists of swarm of unrelated meteorites. At that time, it was not possible to determine the nature of repulsion force between them. There is no yet model to describe this fact. The Cassini probe discovered dense rings consist of chunks of diamagnetic ice. Here we show how Saturn's magnetism could determine the repulsion force and how it allows the calculation of the equilibrium distance between ice bodies in dense rings
