Abstract
Field and Rogers (1993) proposed that the accretion disks in moderate - L AGN (≲ 1044 erg sec−1) are dominated by magnetic stress rather than gas or radiation pressure. A magnetic field parallel to the disk forms loops above and below it where reconnection accelerates electrons to relativistic energies. The nonthermal radiation observed is the synchrotron emission and inverse-Compton scattering by these electrons.
