Abstract

RECENTLY there has been interest in the problem of intense magnetic fields in gravitationally collapsed bodies1,2; in particular the radio emission from neutron stars (pulsars) suggests strong magnetic fields of the order of 1012 G (refs. 1, 3 and 4). The battery effect for nonuniformly rotating early main sequence stars has been considered recently5,6, but we will show in this communication that there is a possible battery effect in neutron stars which has a different physical cause.
