Abstract
The transient growth of an induced electric field is examined on the assumption that a primary electric field has been impressed along a band of aurorally enhanced conductivity in the ionosphere. The time contant for the growth is shown to be unimportant compared with the time scale of the auroral substorm, and the possibility that a certain class of auroral motions can be attributed to such a secondary or polarization electric field is discussed.
