…but from my understanding of electromagnetics, if the magnetic field is in giga gauss, and the collapse time of a plasmoid is on the order of nanoseconds, then I’d expect the electric field to be a million times stronger than the magnetic field? Mag field / Time = Electric field. Don’t know if there’s a constant of proportion that cuts the electric field down a long way. Will have to check. Just thought someone here would know better than me.

edit :: I just checked faradays induction law again. I don’t see any proportion constant , just electric field strength = – change in magnetic field over time. So I think I’m right with my idea – the collapsing plasmoid electric field being should be of the order of peta – volts. Would be nice if someone here could confirm my idea.
