A. Jupiter B. Saturn C. Uranus D. Neptune What conditions are considered to be necessary for a planet to be able to generate an intense magnetic field? A. an ionized and electrically conducting layer in the in the planet's history. B. a solid iron core with a magnetic field created early material in its interior. C. relatively rapid rotation and electrically conducting rotation, since rapid D. electrically conducting material in its interior and slow rotation will destroy a magnetic field.
