If a magnetic field is caused by a charge in motion and if neutrons have no charge where does the magnetic field come from in a neutron star?
The reasons behind the magnetic field of a neutron star are not clear. Neutron stars are the collapsed core of star of 10 to 30 solar masses. One theory is that the magnetic field of a neutron star is because of the conservation of magnetic flux. If a star had a magnetic flux over its surface and the star then collapsed to a much smaller neutron star but the flux was conserved, then the same flux for the neutron star would be spread over a much smaller area making the magnetic field much stronger. But this explanation goes only partway towards explaining the neutron stars' magnetic field.
The strongest known magnetic field is that of?
A magnetar, a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field, has the strongest known magnetic field in the universe, reaching around a billion Tesla at its surface. Magnetars are formed from the remnants of supernova explosions and exhibit intense magnetic field effects such as X-ray emissions and gamma-ray bursts.
Why would we not expect magnetic fields on the moon or mercury?
You might, but that would be wrong! Mercury has a strong magnetic field.
Does charon have a magnetic field?
You an expect any planet or moon to have magnetic fields. Some more, some less.
A rapidly rotating neutron star with an offset magnetic field that appears to blink to a distant observer is called a?
A pulsar
Would a neutron be deflected by a maagnetic field why or why not?
Yes, a neutron can be deflected by a magnetic field because it is a charged particle. The movement of the neutron will be influenced by the Lorentz force, which occurs when a charged particle moves through a magnetic field.

What is a magnetar?
A magnetar is a neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field, the decay of which powers the emission of copious amounts of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-rays and gamma-rays. The theory regarding these objects was formulated by Robert Duncan and Christopher Thompson in 1992, but the first recorded burst of gamma rays thought to have been from a magnetar was on March 5, 1979. During the following decade, the magnetar hypothesis has become widely accepted as a likely explanation for soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars. To make this answer simple the Earth's magnetic field is roughly 1 gauss a typical neutron star is upwards of 1000 gauss and a magnetar is 1000x more powerful
How does the lighthouse model explain pulsars?
A neutron star contains a powerful magnetic field and spins very rapidly. the spinning magnetic field generates a tremendously powerful electric field, and the filed causes the production of electron positron pairs. As the charged particles are accelerated through the magnetic field, they emit photons in the direction of their motion, which produce powerful beams of electromagnetic radiation emerging from the magnetic poles. Pretty much when you look at it from far away it looks like it blinking at you so that's why they call it the light house model in the same way when your at sea and you see a blinking light in the distance which is a lighthouse. =)
Where is the magnetic field the stroungest?
As far as I know, in a magnetar, which is a special type of neutron star.
How are sunspots related to the powerful magnetic field on the sun?
sunspots are caused by the magnetic fields
How are neutron stars related to pulsars?
A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star that releases regular pulses of electromagnetic radiation from its magnetic field
How can a neutron have a magnetic moment when it has no charge?
as magnetic moments are created by the movement of electric charges Since the neutron is a neutral particle the magnetic moment is an indication of substructure i.e. the neutron is made of other electrically charged particles (quarks).There is a cloud of pi-mesons around the neutrons in result to the exchange of pi-mesons (the exchange particle of the strong force) with the other nucleons (proton and neutrons).the non-zero magnetic moment of the neutron indicates that it is not an elementary particle as it carries no net charge but still interacts with a magnetic field.The magnetic moment is negative which means that the neutron has a tendency to align anti parallel to a magnetic field rather than parallel to the field.
