It is a basic feature of the Babcock-Leighton model of the solar cycle that the polar fieId reversal is due to the diffusive decay and poleward drift of the active region fields. The flux from follower regions moves preferentially polewards in each hemisphere, where it cancels with, and then replace
Some theoretical difficulties confronting the current model of the polar magnetic reversal by cancellation with the flux remnants of decaying active regions are discussed. It is shown that the flux transport equation does not adequately describe the essential physical consequences of the transport o
