โฆ Synopsis
An investigation of 531 active regions was made to determine the correlation between energy released by flares and the available energy in magnetic fields of the regions. Regions with magnetic flux greater than 102~ maxwell during the years 1967-1969, which included sunspot maximum, were selected for the investigation. A linear regression analysis of fiare production on magnetic flux showed that the flare energy is correlated with magnetic energy with a coefficient of correlation of 0.78. Magnetic classification and field configuration also significantly affect the production of flares.
