We critically examine and evaluate several physical mechanisms that are responsible for the seed magnetic fields in plasmas. The plasma magnetization is attributed to sources that foster motion of the background plasma electrons against the ions. The resulting space charge electric field and currents, in turn, are detrimental for the plasma magnetization.
