Ohmic heating rate Qrc versus distance from the (loop-top) acceleration region. The solid line shows the results for collisional scattering, and the other lines show the results for turbulent scattering, with a turbulent scattering length λT equal to 0.1× (red), 0.2× (green), and 0.3× (blue) the collisional mean free path of 7 × 107 cm. (Note that the abscissa is now on a logarithmic scale).
