Abstract
A model of a conducting cylinder with a radial temperature gradient which creates an electric field that increases with time in the surrounding vacuum is examined. The conditions under which this model functions are pointed out. An electric field is also generated when a magnetic field exists along the axis of the cylinder. This article discusses the interactions of the thermal flux, magnetic field, and charge distribution. Four models are considered with different conditions for the supply of electrons from a central source and the possibility either of capturing electrons inside the cylinder or their freely leaving it through the outer boundary.
期刊介绍:
Astrophysics (Ap) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal which publishes research in theoretical and observational astrophysics. Founded by V.A.Ambartsumian in 1965 Astrophysics is one of the international astronomy journals. The journal covers space astrophysics, stellar and galactic evolution, solar physics, stellar and planetary atmospheres, interstellar matter. Additional subjects include chemical composition and internal structure of stars, quasars and pulsars, developments in modern cosmology and radiative transfer.
