Attention is given to the standard description of the ionospheric currents j and electric fields E based on the equations of the momentum balance for the ionospheric constituents and on the equation of continuity for current. In particular, an analysis is conducted of the simplifying assumptions currently used in the studies of the ionospheric structure, and an evaluation is performed regarding the justification of those results which may be obtained from the incomplete set of equations governing the ionospheric continuum and electromagnetic field. The neutral ionosphere is treated as a four-component continuum consisting of ambient ions, ambient electrons, neutral particles, and precipitating (energetic) electrons. Auroral electrojets and field-aligned currents are considered along with electric fields and flows in the auroral ionosphere.
