Description
Summary:As an asymptotic paradox, the presence of a constant uncompensated positive charge of the Sun is investigated. According to the type of ions experimentally detected in the solar wind, the total charge of the Sun is calculated. The formulated model makes it possible to explain the anomalous heating of the solar corona by a constant electric field and the presence in the solar wind of several times ionized heavy ions. Within the framework of this model, the energies of the solar wind particles in the Earth's region are calculated. The calculated parameters of the Sun and the solar wind are compared with the values known from experiments and the proposed mathematical model is thereby verified.
