Abstract: | We examine some of the consequences of an electrostatically unstable return current associated with heat conduction during a solar flare. We note that an electrostatically unstable return current will lead to strong hydrodynamic effects and more rapid magnetic field thermalization, if reconnection is the source of primary energy release during a solar flare. |
