Using a 1995-1998 data set of vector magnetograms, the magnetic field flux, shear angle of the transverse field and nonpotential energy of active regions were calculated. The evolution of these parameters were analyzed together with time series of the solar monthly sunspot relative number and area to study their relationships in the ascending phase of solar cycle 23. We find the magnetic flux and nonpotential energy have a good correlation with sunspot relative number and area. But the magnetic shear angle does not develop as above indices.
