Abstract
Since their first discovery in sunspots by Hale (1908), magnetic fields have been found connected with practically every structure of the solar atmosphere. Their omnipresence is due to the high electrical conductivity of the solar plasma and their dynamical importance is to a large degree due to the rapid outward decrease of gas pressure at the solar surface. In the following we will discuss some of the physical aspects of magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere.
