intermediate-mass stars. We have measured the strength of dipolar  oscillation modes, which can be suppressed by a strong magnetic field in the  core (Fuller et al. 2015), in over 3600 red giant stars observed by \kepler. About 20\% of our sample have mode  suppression and this fraction is a strong function of mass. Strong core fields only occur in red giants above 1.1 solar masses (1.1 \msol), (1.1\msol),  %[this setence seems to break flow between previous and subsequent sentence] Low-mass red giants, which burned hydrogen in a radiative core, do not posses strong internal magnetic fields.   and the occurrence rate is   at least 60\% for intermediate-mass stars (1.6--2.0 \msun), (1.6--2.0\msol),  indicating that powerful dynamos are very common in the convective cores of these stars.
