| Abstract: | The finite element method was used to solve a partial differential equation (magnetostatic equation) for multipolar magnetic regions. It is found that the height of magnetic field lines above the magnetic neutral line of a central strong bipolar magnetic field decreases as the field lines' footpoints approach the neutral line and also with increased magnetic shear. Both the electric current density and plasma pressure in the sheared low-lying loops are high. We suggest that the sheared low-lying loops may store the energies of large coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and filament eruptions. In addition, it is found that a lower pressure area exists above the low-lying loops and that it is similar in morphology to a coronal cavity. Above the lower pressure area there is a higher pressure area, which may be the source of CMEs. In this area magnetic shear leads to magnetic reconnection, which may be the cause of high coronal temperature. |
