Scientific paper

Ions falling in vertically aligned magnetic structures of quiescent prominences may experience a vertical Lorentz force as flux ropes are distorted from the force-free condition. The terminal velocity of such ions may be sub-Alfvenic and may correspond to the 5-15 km/sec velocity of down falling material observed in many quiescent prominences. The higher velocities of down falling material found in active prominences and coronal rain may occur because of higher terminal velocities occurring in stronger magnetic fields.
