Q. Consider the following statements:
1.Sun’s magnetic fields help move energy and matter from the Sun’s inner layers to its outer layers.
2.The Sun’s magnetic field maintains a consistent strength from its surface to its outermost layers.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation –
Statement 1 is correct. The magnetic fields in the Sun’s atmosphere act as channels for transporting energy and mass from the Sun’s inner layers to its outer layers, such as the corona.
Statement 2 is incorrect. The magnetic field does not remain constant; it varies with height in the solar atmosphere. The strength and configuration of the magnetic field change as it extends from the photosphere to the chromosphere and into the corona.
