Using one-minute cadence vector magnetograms of BBSO, we analyze the temporal behavior of the derived vertical electric currents associated with two solar flares on July 26, 2002. One is an M1.0 flare occurred in AR10044, while the other is an M8.7 flare in the adjacent AR 10039. We find that the temporal behaviors of electric currents are very different. For the M1.0 flare, the current density drops rapidly near the flaring neutral line; while for the M8.7 flare, the current density rapidly increases.
