    Knowing the following information: Sun surface temperature of 5788 K, Sun's core is between 20-25% of radius. I tried to (perhaps naively) calculate the temperature to the edge of its core from the surface temperature, using an inverse square law. Depending on which value you use for the core...

    I Core collapse of a supernova: the "void" left by the collapsed core?

    When core collapse occurs, a ~10000km diameter core of the star collapses into neutron star or a black hole. Let's look at NS case here: the resulting neutron star is on the order of 20 km across. And this happens in a few seconds. The upper layers of the star cannot immediately fall onto the...

    Energy in a Magnetic Field (SMES Core Question)

    Say one has a solenoid with a given number of amp-turns; if the core is air, we know that the energy to charge a magnetic field to "B" Tesla is recovered when the magnetic field collapses. Now if that core is iron instead of air, we know the magnetic field is greater than the original "B" value...
