Abstract
With the assumption that the magnetic field lines are radial at some quite high level in the solar corona, a non-constant shearing magnetic field is introduced into the magnetohydrostatic equations. It is found that a same critical amount of shearing a magnetic island is formed and then breaks out to form an open magnetic configuration in which resistive tearing-mode instability may occur, and may initiate a two-ribbon flare. In addition, high shearing magnetic fields are investigated. It is shown that high shearing magnetic configurations are weak two-dimensional neutral sheets, the instability of which has been studied by Janicke (1982).
