Abstract
Using energy conservation we show that if a sudden external force of unknown nature causes a newborn pulsar of mass and radius R=10 km to have the acceleration then we can derive the relation where is the velocity of the pulsar, its initial magnetic field and Gs. This relation predicts that a newborn pulsar with km experienced the acceleration g when G. An external force producing such an acceleration seems not to be physically feasible. This pulsar could have experienced the more realistic acceleration g if G. But this huge magnetic field seems to be unrealistic.
