Using Ampere's integral law applied to vector magnetograph transverse field data, the current pattern in an active region associated with flaring activity is analyzed. The greater sensitivity of this integral formalism of Ampere's law may allow one to identify regions of weak return current around the actual positive current region. The effects of Faraday rotation on the inferred magnetic field measurements, and hence on the deduced current pattern, are discussed. It is concluded that the current patterns in the region consist either of a neutralized current system, well modeled by a coaxial cable, or of a potential field, with the apparent currents in the core an artifact induced by magneto-optical effects. In either case, the data do not convincingly show an unneutralized current system.
