Although coronal heating is basically due to magnetic fields, it has been unknown why some field lines show up as coronal loops and the others do not. Based on the study of magnetic fields and coronal loops in active region NOAA 7321, we propose that only a subset of field lines constituting the magnetic separatrices are illuminated. Some coronal loops are much brighter than the others, indicating that there is enhanced heating in a limited subset of coronal loops. Such enhanced heating is ascribed to the magnetic shear at the loop foot-points or to the emerging magnetic flux.
