Popis: A simple model of chiral asymmetry is proposed to interpret the origin of the strong toroidal magnetic field. The electrons relevant to dynamics forming the the field are in a quantume degenerate state with ultra-relativistic Fermi energy. The system is described by Dirac Hartree Fock method using scaled h-bar method. Neutron stars are rotating and have large angular momentum which is formed by cranking model and breaks time reversal. Dirac current is decomposed into convection and spin currents due to Clifford number. The strong toroidal magnetic field is formed by the spin like current resulted by the chiral asymmetry brought about electron capture caused by the parity-violating weak interaction.
