The generation mechanism of the toroidal magnetic field by the angular velocity radial gradient acting on the relict poloidal magnetic field on the boundary between the con-vective and radiative zones is proposed. The magnetic induction magnitude of the toroidal field reaches about 2×10σ G, the limiting effect of the magnetic buoyancy being taking into account. This value conforms to the estimation of toroidal field obtained from helioseismological data.
