A Question on Physics

By [unnamed sender] ·

Hello fellow Travellers,

after some time of passive consuming this list, here is a brand hot question
to all interested in physics:

Does the EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) of an nuclear explosion need an
planetary magnetic field to develop ?

That is, if you think of a planet, who has no magnetic field like earth
(would be a rather strange planet I must admit), would the explosion
of a nuclear device result in an EMP?

with hopes for some answers,

Juergen
