Scientific paper

It is noted that the magnetic loops are again the subject of wide attention because they are the basic features created by the sun's magnetic field in the tenuous material of its outer atmosphere. Today the structure of the larger loops can be resolved over a wide range of plasma temperature and density. This offers the possibility of testing the processes which have been proposed to carry wave or electric-current energy from the photosphere to the much hotter chromosphere and corona above. It is noted that evidence exists for large electric fields in solar loops during and after flares. Their presence in general would have a pronounced influence on problems ranging from the motions of ionized material across magnetic fields to effects on the ionization potentials of atomic species in the plasma.
