Abstract
The transport and the thermalization of photoelectrons, in the ionospheric regions for the noontime medium solar activity conditions, is studied theoretically (i) along various magnetic field lines in the equatorial region by modifying the Nisbet-Swartz technique and (ii) at 30° geomagnetic latitude using Nisbet-Swartz original technique. The photoelectron flux, on one hand, are found to be higher in the midlatitude region by a factor varying from 2 to 5 compared to those obtained along different magnetic field lines in the equatorial region. The ambient electron heating rates, on the other hand, are found to be higher in the equatorial region compared to those in the midlatitude region.
