Abstract

It’s very difficult to understand the mechanism producing solar magnetic fields, as it mingled with various activities, it also hindered by gaseous model of the sun; an alternative view is suggested based on characteristics of electrons exhibited in electric current; in 1820 Ørsted discovered both the relation between electricity and magnesium and the Circular Magnetic Field (CMF) produced by electric current, later discovered its produced by electrons in motion; thus the bulky rotation of charged particles (electrons, protons and ions) in tornado mode, produced intense CMF, designated as Plasma Pillar Intense Magnetic Field (PPIMF) with magnitude exceeds millions Tesla; and since EUV images in F-A, illustrates subsurface intense Magnetic Lines of Force (MLF), it also shows activities of Solar Flare (SF), both are suggested as due to PPIMF, which accounted for most solar activities, the Active Region (AR) as in F-B suggested to represent the PPIMF, where AR near surface are in circle, while AR at deep depth in squares; at deep depths the influence of PPIMF on photosphere during quiet sun resulted in pairs of negative and positive magnetic fields represented by magnetogram in F-C; during active sun, PPIMF raise nearer photosphere, it’s negative and positive fields interacted with the photosphere’s state, resulted in pairs of sunspots in F-D, look like iron filings, but formed by plasma, their shapes determined by proximity to PPIMF; as charged particles gyrate around the pillar, any increase in field’s intensity reduced radius of gyration, hence the adjacent distances between ions, thus at critical distance Solar Flare (SF) is triggered producing great energy, radiations and plasma including heavy ions; this knowledge will unlock dynamics of the sun, it’s internal structures and related mechanisms, it will help attained the alternative renewable energy, avert negative consequences of climate change, improve prediction of solar activity and space weather among others.
