There is a net electrostatic charge in the solar corona, as well as in the solar interior. You are aware of the Millsean explanation, for the corona.
I have a better citation than this, which I can’t find at the moment. This one will lead you deeper or you can google “electrostatic charge of stars.” http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001A%26A...372..913N -----Original Message----- From: OrionWorks - Steven V Johnson I realize this might sound like a dumb question to ask, but I have a question about the aggregate electrical charge of our sun. In regards to our own sun, we assume that hydrogen (and a few other heavier elements) existing in a plasma state is slowing being converted into helium through a complex series of atomic transitions. Is it generally assumed that the aggregate positive/negative charge associated with the number of protons and electrons (but neutrons as well) that exist within our sun in a plasma state tend to cancel each other out when observed from a vantage point millions of miles away? IOW, is the electrical charge of the sun basically neutral from our vantage point? I assume that is most likely the case. Or am I wrong on that point?
