Abstract
In this paper we model the azimuthal component of the magnetic field at Jupiter. We start by writing a current distribution which is the sum of two currents, one flowing along the magnetic field lines (J=αB) and another injected into the current sheet at r0 (∼10 RJ). We look at two cases, one in which current flows along the field lines into the equatorial plane and then radially outward and a second case in which the only current is that injected into the current sheet at r0. Each of these two cases results in an azimuthal magnetic field which fits the magnetic field data.
