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. Keywords : Sun: corona - Sun: magnetic fields - Sun: X-rays- MHD
