Abstract

It is believed that the magnetic field of the Sun is produced by the dynamo process, which involves nonlinear interactions between the solar plasma and the magnetic field. After summarizing the main characteristics of solar magnetic fields, the basic ideas of dynamo theory are presented. Then an appraisal is made of the current status of solar dynamo theory.
