| Keywords: Twistedflux.png Differential rotation of the Sun The undisturbed bipolar magnetic field configuration during solar minimum marks the start of the solar cycle i The faster rotation at the solar equator then drags the magnetic field around the solar body ii until the Sun approaches solar maximum where the buoyant magnetic flux is twisted to such an extent flares and highly dynamic coronal loops become commonplace across the Sun ™s surface iii and iv The buoyancy force governing the upward motion of coronal loops can be written as <em>p<sub>i</sub>+B<sup>2</sup>/8 p<sub>e</sub></em> where <em>p<sub>i</sub></em> is the internal pressure of the flux <em>p<sub>e</sub></em> is the external pressure and <em>B</em> is the magnetic field strength English wikipedia here Cartoon created by http //www astroengine net Ian O'Neill and can be found in the thesis entitled http //www astroengine net/projects/thesis06 pdf Quiescent Coronal Loops Heated by Turbulence en English Wikipedia Eeron80 Solar activity | ||||
