Electric field and field-aligned currents produced by asymmetric ring current

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

The formation of the problem concerning calculation of the electric field and field-aligned currents in the magnetosphere and ionosphere produced by asymmetric ring current is considered with the approach and equations developed by [1–3]. These equations were used previously for estimation of the electric field in the ionosphere and magnetosphere appearing in the process of spreading of energetic particles injected into the trapping zone of the magnetosphere as a result of nuclear explosion. According to this theory, energetic particles injected into a ring current produce an asymmetric divergent ring current, field-aligned currents, a global electric field and currents in the ionosphere.
