Abstract
Possible (small-scale) photospheric sources of coronal magnetic field aligned currents are discussed. Such currents are equivalent to local (small-scale) twists of the coronal magnetic field, and may cause field topologies that are (MHD or resistively) unstable, and thus contribute to the (small-scale) coronal activity.
