Chapter 30, Problem 30.45P
Solar Magnetic Energy. Magnetic fields within a sunspot can be as strong as 0.4 T. (By comparison, the earth’s magnetic field is about 1/10,000 as strong.) Sunspots can be as large as 25,000 km in radius. The material in a sunspot has a density of about 3 × 10−4 kg/m3. Assume μ for the sunspot material is μ0. If 100% of the magnetic-field energy stored in a sunspot could be used to eject the sunspot’s material away from the sun’s surface, at what speed would that material be ejected? Compare to the sun’s escape speed, which is about 6 × 105 m/s. (Hint: Calculate the kinetic energy the magnetic field could supply to 1 m3 of sunspot material.)

The NOAA Space Weather Scales describe three types of space weather storms: Geomagnetic storms, Solar Radiation storms, and Radio Blackouts. A single large solar event can result in all three types of storms being observed at Earth. Assuming a single solar event causes all three to occur, in what order would we expect to observe the three storms?
Choose the correct order from the options below. The storms are listed by arrival time, from first to last.
A. First Geomagnetic, then Solar Radiation, then Radio Blackout.
B. First Solar Radiation, then Radio Blackout, then Geomagnetic.
C. First Radio Blackout, then Geomagnetic, then Solar Radiation.
D. First Geomagnetic, then Radio Blackout, then Solar Radiation.
E. First Radio Blackout, then Solar Radiation, then Geomagnetic.
F. First Solar Radiation, then Geomagnetic, then Radio Blackout.
