AB: This study is motivated by the possibility of an electrolytically conducting body of water of unknown dimensions below the surface of Enceladus needed in some models to explain the observed plume in the south polar region.This body of water can in principle be investigated by electromagnetic induction techniques.Assuming internal models ranging from a local bubble of electrolyte to a global ocean we estimate the magnetic signature after a discussion of possible inducing magnetic fields.
