Abstract: | We demonstrate by using elementary electromagnetic theory that flare mechanisms that require pre-flare energy storage, that is inductive energy storage, are incapable of accelerating sufficient electrons to satisfy the “non-thermal” hard X-ray hypothesis and are therefore “thermal” flare mechanisms within the context of the “thermal hypothesis”. |
