Abstract
High energy spectra of broad-line blazars can be reproduced by both synchrotron-self-Compton (SSC) models and external-Compton (EC) models. However, as is known from numerical modeling, SSC scenarios require much weaker magnetic field than EC ones. In this paper we quantify these results analytically.
