Scientific paper

The proposal offered by Tucker (1973) that active regions are heated by magnetic energy dissipation is critically analyzed. The data set used in the analysis was derived from the observations of Newkirk (1967). Tucker's estimates for the twisting velocity of the solar magnetic field in active regions are compared with observational data in a table, and are found to be unacceptably high. The geometric orientation of an active region with a single current sheet is shown in a diagram.
