It is argued that the quiscent prominences are a natural consequence of the formation and thermal instability of current sheets in the corona. Thus observation and theory of prominences can give vital information on the presence of currents and the topology of magnetic fields in the corona. Converse
Cyclotron radiation (its frequency spectrum and polarization) of thermal electrons in a neutral current sheet is considered. It is shown that cyclotron radiation is able to escape only from a thin edge of the sheet where the magnetic field is practically homogeneous. Due to this, the frequency spect
