| Abstract: | A flare model based on force-free currents in the solar atmosphere is considered. The energy of the flare is supposed to be stored as magnetic energy in the current system. If the current density exceeds a certain critical limit an over-voltage may arise in the circuit which will give rise to a rapid release of the stored energy. At the end of the paper some results yielded by the model are compared with observational evidence of flares. |
