Abstract
Magnetic fields are considered to be dominant when , being the magnetic energy density and the rotation energy density, for a conventional moderate B= 1 G. They are considered to be negligible when for G. With no assumption and no theoretical calculation, we show that magnetic fields cannot be ignored in the outer parts of a galaxy like the Milky Way and in the whole disk of a dwarf galaxy.
