From the fluctuations of the velocity and magnetic field observed in different kinds of solar wind the fluctuating electric fields are derived, and their power spectra are constructed and analysed. The mean electromotive force ɛ generated by the turbulent motions depends upon the nature of the fluctuations. Simple dynamo theory predicts a linear relationship between ɛ and the mean magnetic field B0. Correlation studies carried out to establish the alpha effect in the solar wind have given negative results.
