This paper is a development of the hypothesis, suggested earlier by the author, namely that novae possess a large general magnetic field. This hypothesis explains the following facts: (a) effects of the retardation of matter in novae before light maximum, (b) a preferential ejection of matter from novae in two diametrically opposite directions during an outburst, and (c) formation of rings and equatorial belts after light maximum, observed in N Aql 1918 and N Her 1934. These rings and belts are formed due to the fact that the general magnetic field of new stars deflects condensations of continuous ejection (the diffuse-enhanced and Orion spectra) towards the equator.

Magnetic fields inside novae must be ‘tangled’. This explains (a), as well as the difference between cases (b) and (c).

The structure of envelopes, ejected by novae, must reflect the presence of tangled magnetic fields. According to G. A. Shajn this is confirmed for super-novae, the envelopes of which may be studied in detail.
