It is very important to estimate the relationship between the central blackhole mass MBH and bolometric luminosity Lbol of AGNs, because such a relation may be useful to judge the validity of various models for AGNs (Koratkar & Gaskell 1991, hereafter KG91). The predictions of various models are summerized in Table 1, where B is the magnetic field around the central object.
