Abstract
A quasi stationary model of the electric fields and currents in the conductor that includes the Earth's atmosphere and ionosphere is developed. The role of the inclination of the magnetic field is considered. A mathematical simulation has shown that the resulting electric field in the ionosphere decreases. The penetration of the electric field and current from the ground to the ionosphere can be a physical process which creates observed ionospheric precursors of earthquakes only if the electric field strength and conductivity of the air near ground as well as the size of the pre-earthquake perturbations zone can simultaneously reach extreme possible values. Additional experiments are necessary to verify such a possibility. Other models are analyzed and compared to the main outcomes of our investigations.
