Abstract

For low velocities of convection, the normal component of the current near the magnetopause is calculated in a case when the magnetopause is a tangential discontinuity. It is shown that for the great pressure of the magnetospheric plasma this component of the current, closing through the ionosphere, create the global system of field-aligned currents which is consistent with the Triad data on the value, the direction and the distribution with the local time.
