## TL;DR

This paper explores dynamo scaling laws relating magnetic and kinetic energies, comparing simple models with simulations of stellar cores to understand magnetic field generation during star evolution.

## Contribution

It introduces and compares two simple dynamo models, incorporating magnetostrophy and inertia, with simulation data for stellar core magnetic behavior.

## Key findings

- Models align with simulation data for stellar cores
- Magnetostrophic and inertial effects influence dynamo scaling
- Insights into magnetic field evolution in star life cycles

## Abstract

This paper provides a brief look at dynamo scaling relationships for the degree of equipartition between magnetic and kinetic energies. Two simple models are examined, where one that assumes magnetostrophy and another that includes the effects of inertia. These models are then compared to a suite of convective dynamo simulations of the convective core of a main-sequence B-type star and applied to its later evolutionary stages.
