Abstract

Magnetospheric substorms and solar flares seem to follow a pattern where a sudden transition from a slow passive evolution to a fast active evolution occurs. This concept which has proven useful for constructing a theory of the onset of magnetospheric substorms is tentatively applied to current sheets which may be relevant to flares.
