dc.description.abstract	A clue to the preflare configuration of a magnetic loop is obtained based on Taylor's hypothesis that the decay of energy to a minimum with magnetic helicity remaining constant leads to a force free state. The numerical investigation (Riyopoulos et al. 1982) of a MHD turbulent plasma indicates that a high energy and nearly force free state of the plasma decays to a minimum energy state with a release of energy via magnetic reconnection processes.	en
