Abstract. Ionson (1985a) extended his uni¯ed theory of coronal resonance
heating having non-resonant (D.C.) and resonant (A.C.) components.
Narain
and Kumar (1995) calculated heating e±ciency for resonant and
non-resonant
components for coronal heating. Since some inconsistencies are noticed
in these
calculations, we decided to reinvestigate the work of Narain and Kumar
(1995).
The results are found to vary remarkably. Reasons for these variations
are
discussed.
