Abstract

Non-linear electrodynamics coupled to general relativity is investigated. In general relativity, it is observed that the expansion of the universe is accelerating if the source of the gravitational field is the non-linear electromagnetic field. Moreover, a pure magnetic universe is explored. As a result, it is demonstrated that the magnetic field drives the cosmic expansion to be accelerated. Furthermore, the stability analysis of the present model is developed. In addition, the energy conditions and future singularities are studied in detail.
