The kinematics of the material motion in a variable magnetic field in the MHD approximation of a strong field and cold plasma is investigated. The variation of magnetic moments of two dipole systems leads to the development of such phenomena as loop prominences, coronal rain and funnel prominences.

A mechanism is suggested for the formation of loop-type prominences in solar-active regions following flare events. The mechanism is based on the already existing idea of compression of a coronal plasma element resulting in enhanced radiation and consequent cooling of the element. A model is suggest
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
