    Can electric fields/currents be seen on the sun?

    L & P's Zeeman splitting puts the field strength of sunspots at about 1726 Gauss. (Been dropping at about 46-50G per year since 1998) What is the formula and what is the equivalent electric charge?

    Can electric fields/currents be seen on the sun?

    Not sure you can, its just that we have other means that focus on the development of the magnetic features, means that include measurements of field strength and such, but rarely do we hear anything in regards to the energetic electric aspect. I suppose magnetic loops would explicitly imply that...

    Can electric fields/currents be seen on the sun?

    My understanding is that fluid dynamics in the convective zone generate electric fields and are what drives the magnetic fields which are then pushed up into the photosphere by differential rotation. Question is are electric fields or currents also present in the plasma filled magnetic and...
