Abstract

In this work, we present exact solutions of Brans-Dicke field equations with self-interacting potential U for the Bianchi type cosmological model filled with magnetized anisotropic matter contents. For this purpose, we use the variation law of the Hubble parameter and its resulting exponential as well as power law volumetric expansions. It is concluded that both the resulting models indicate expanding behavior of the universe with isotropic nature ( , in the presence of magnetized anisotropic fluid.
