Let's go back to basics.  All you need to generate a magnetic field is another magnet moving through a magnetic field.  

 

The Sun appears to generate a magnetic field.  If the Earth is a magnet, it's motion with respect to The Sun's magnetic fields may be what generates the fields.  If the Sun is doing something similarly, again- it's a magnet.  By moving through even larger fields on the galactic scale perhaps the Sun's fields are simply generated the same way- motion of a magnet through a field.  The question I've been trying to getv to the bottom of is- which fields are The Sun moving through.  Some electric universe (not to be confused with plasma cosmology a.k.a. REAL SCIENCE as opposed to mostly nonsense) people are on a wild goose chase looking for Birkeland currents everywhere and not listening to reason.  What they're not understanding, and it's pretty obvious is that stars are not electric.  The behavior of plasma on their surfaces is electric and electronic and all of that can be explained rationally.  This, by the way, is why the ESA Solar Orbiter is so important!  The fields at the poles are conical, not toroidal which means...  Well I'll let you folks attempt to figure that out...
