The formation and support of solar prominences in a quadrupolar magnetic configuration is investigated. A current sheet with mass in equilibrium in a 2D field is used to model the prominence. In this model, the assumption is made that the prominence forms within the dip in the magnetic field, and not that the dip is created by the prominence. The model possess several attractive features which make it applicable for inverse-polarity prominences: the dip and the inverse orientation are both naturally present; prominences are formed by converging rather than shearing motions, and converging photospheric motions induce a horizontal upward motion in the filament; the orientation of the axial field is naturally accounted for, in contrast to what is expected from differential rotation; the observed relationship of the chromospheric magnetic field strength to that of the prominence is reproduced naturally; and, in agreement with observations, the field configuration is more complex than a simple bipole.
