OCR: MAG NETIC FIELD Data Researchers believe that a dynamo generates Jupiter's magnetic field. The electrical conductor may be liquid hydrogen at or near the planet core but the force driving the system IS completely unknown. Researchers speculate that it may involve planetary rotation. The magnetic field on Jupiter inclines tc the planet's axis 01 rotation by an angle Qf about 11 degrees as compared to 10 degrees on Earth and the alignment of the magnetic poles such that compass needle would point south
