Abstract

An accepted model for magnetospheric substorms is used as the basis for a generic model for magnetic explosions, Emphasis is placed on the role of the inductive electric field and the displacement current. It is pointed out that these are unjustifiably neglected in conventional models, with this neglect being implicit in the assumptions of magnetohydrodynamics. Consequences of including the inductive electric field are identified. Fiducial numbers for the application of the generic model to solar flares and magnetar outbursts are suggested.
