Abstract:We consider two aspects of solar flares from the point of view of circuit theory. First, we show that the so-called ldquodynamo modelsrdquo, which invoke an analogy between the Earth's magnetosphere-ionosphere circuit and the solar corona-photosphere circuit, are illfounded. Second, we consider the rate of coronal energy release in the impulsive phase of a modest flare, and show that, if the energy going into mass motion can be neglected, the corona must present a resistance of about 10–3 mgr. Classical resistivity, even in a highly filamented circuit, cannot provide so high a resistance. Anomalous resistivity due to ion sound turbulence can provide the required resistance in this case, but is insufficient to explain the very high power levels inferred in some fast spikes.
