Abstract

The Blandford-Znajek process, which extracts the rotational energy of the supermassive black hole at the center of an active galactic nucleus, is now well explained and educated through the electronic circuit analysis established by Macdonald and Thorne. The Macdonald-Thorne circuits consist of the batteries and resistances of the central black hole and the astrophysical region around the accretion disk. In this letter we will consider the possibility whether we can connect coils and condensers in such circuits or not. If possible, that may explain a sudden corona-phenomenon in an active galactic nucleus. We conclude that a flash of order $\~5\times10^{40}\;ergs\;s^{-1}$ can occur around a $\~10^9M_\bigodot$ black hole through this process.
