Extract
We imagine the interstellar medium as a system of molecular clouds and isolated magnetic flux tubes. We assume that: the flux tubes appear as a result of disruption of molecular clouds containing magnetic field, their length is comparable to the mean intercloud distance of about 100 pc and diameter comparable to the diameter of the clouds ∼ 10 pc.
