Magnetic Field Reversal and the Schwabe Cycle
The 11-year cycle, known as the Schwabe cycle, is actually the period between successive solar maxima of the same magnetic polarity. Because the Sun's global magnetic field reverses its polarity at every solar maximum, the complete magnetic cycle—the Hale cycle—spans approximately 22 years. During this reversal, the toroidal magnetic field stretches and then collapses, d…
