\section{Introduction}
%A fraction of main-sequence A stars shows strong surface magnetic fields (Ap stars).
%Ap stars have large scale, predominantly dipolar magnetic fields that show little or no time evolution and %amplitudes in the range 0.3-30kG.
Surface Stellar magnetic fields are routinely
measured in stars. However observed through their
internal magnetic properties are inaccessible to direct observations; as a consequence very little is known about Zeeman spectroscopic signature.
Magnetic flux can be inherited from the
amplitude, geometry and evolution of internal stellar B-fields.

A fraction of
