The motion in the liquid core of the earth due to the bodily tide can induce a periodic magnetic field having the frequency σ of the tide as well as multiple frequencies, including a steady term. The coupling coefficient for the steady term between the convectively inducing and induced fields is estimated to be of the order of σH 2 /λ, whereH denotes the height of the equilibrium tide, and λ = 1/4πκ, κ denoting the electrical conductivity of the core. With σ = 1.4 × 10-4 sec-1 ,H = 20 cm, and κ = 3 × 10-6 emu, the coupling coefficient comes out only of the order of 10-6 , as against unity in the case of the dynamo theory.
