We analyze the flux emergence rate of solar active regions (ARs). Numerical simulations by other authors suggest that the flux emergence rate depends on the AR’s twist. To prove this statement observationally, we make a comparison of the flux emergence rate and twist of 215 emerging ARs. Our results confirm that the correlation exists: the higher the twist the higher the flux emergence rate of an AR. We suppose that the difference in the twist can be caused by chaotic influence of the convective plasma motions on the lifting magnetic flux tube.
