Exploring the Relationship Between Equatorial Magnetism and Solar Bodies

[3demon]

Hi everyone, first post.

I am curious to know how magnetism from a solar body differs at its equator. does it differ at all?
Since the North and South are theoretically maximum points in the magnetic loop, at the very equator of their relationship this would be an inverse of that maximum, hence a sort of maximum area in itself (distributed in a ring though). As we reach that maximum of the curvature of the magnetic field where we converge on the limits of perfect curvature, what are the differences between poles and the rest of the field? Am I missing something crucial here? What would happen if you inverted a magnetic field? what would that look like?

Thanks for the help

Equatorial magnetism is the magnetic field of a planet or moon that is aligned with its rotational axis. A planet which has an equatorial magnetic field is magnetized parallel to its axis of rotation, so that the magnetic field is in the plane of the equator. Such a field is usually weak or zero at the poles. The Earth's magnetic field is almost exactly aligned with its axis of rotation, as are those of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. However, Uranus and Neptune, like the Earth, exhibit significant non-alignment between their magnetic fields and rotational axes.
