Scientific paper

The authors have applied the method of Forbes and Priest to the large two-ribbon flare of 29 July, 1973, for which both detailed Hα observations and magnetic data are available. One sees from this calculation that, as reconnection sets in at the beginning of the decay phase, the electric field grows rapidly to reach a maximum value of about 2 V/cm within just a few minutes. Thereafter E1 declines monotonically with time, as one would expect for any relaxation process: as more and more of the magnetic flux disrupted by the flare reconnects, the merging rate itself decreases.
