Why? Because calculating the incoming current is dependant on understanding the reasons for the first set of “Whys” before you can make the necessary approximations.
OK, hold that thought (you'll need it later).
Nope. It’s fiendishly complex
Again, OK (but hold that thought).
Well, this….Mathematics and the kinetic theory of ordinary Gases as applied to Plasma Physics The theories were mathematically elegant and claimed to derive all of the properties of a plasma from first principles. [...]
Ditto.
Why bother? Just read the links, it's all there! The problems are explained very well.
Because, if you don't do a Zeuzzzzz on us, but rather take BeAChooser as your model, you'll end up making a robust case that the ideas are inconsistent (and you may find they are extremely inconsistent).
63,000,000 W/m2 approximately but this is not the point IMHO.
To state the obvious: the mainstream see the Sun as the source of the energy in a gravitational fusion furnace and EU/PC theory see the Sun, as a focal point only, in a plasma "Z" pinch on an Galactic Birkeland current, so the powers coming externally.
Kind of fundamentally different don’t you think?
Good, I mean it's good that you were able to make that estimate, and good that you have clearly stated exactly what you are about to show cannot be!
Let me ask you a question:
Imagine this: a single electric arc welding machine operating continuously, the details aren’t important. Now further imagine billions of them operating, closely packed, around a globe of unknown diameter or substance. An observer some 93 units away can measure, heat, light, UV, X-rays etc and the, apparent, diameter of this phenomena. He can calculate the energy output from this display as 63,000,000 W/m2.
Now the observer is told it’s an electric arc process, and that is all. Can he calculate the current supply needed to power this with any degree of accuracy or not? If not, why not?

Well, I see that Ziggurat beat me to it, but you're definitely asking the right sort of question, well done!
In this next step that you will be taking there are two parts; you're going to do two separate sets of calculations, partly so you have a consistency check.
First one (second one to be done after this is finished): what is a current?
Let's assume the current that powers the Sun, per the EU idea, is electrons, nothing but electrons, and only electrons (you can relax this assumption later, and find that it makes no difference to the conclusion you will reach; namely, that the EC idea just does not add up).
So, how do electrons transfer energy to the Sun?
The end result - the output, in essence - is electromagnetic radiation, whose total energy per second is ~4 x 10^26 J.
The details of how incoming-electrons-as-current get converted to photons need not concern you now, all you need to assume is that the process is up to 100% efficient (i.e. up to all the energy the electrons deliver becomes photons, in other words, energy is conserved).
So, what is the energy that electrons, as a current, can deliver? What is the energy they transport?
You should answer that question, but in the interests of time, I'll say it's just their kinetic energy (before: electrons moving; after: electrons not moving); if you think they transport energy in another form, to the Sun, please say so (and at least briefly describe what it is).
What, then, is the kinetic energy of an electon? Let's say its speed, immediately before being brought to a standstill, is v, with respect the Sun's surface (where it comes to a complete standstill). The answer is .... ?
Now what's the maximum kinetic energy an electron can have?
