Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe and their study forms an important area of research in modern day astrophysics. Starting from planetary magnetic

Magnetism, when extended beyond normal frameworks into cosmic space is characterized by an enormous spatial scale. Because of their large sizes the nature of ma

The study of extraterrestrial magnetic fields is a relatively new one, confirmation of the existance of the first such field (that of our Sun) having come a s l

The origins of cosmic magnetic fields are not as yet well understood. In this dissertation we investigate, via direct numerical simulation, the temporal evoluti
