Scientific paper

The successive-approximation method is used to solve a time-dependent system of equations for the magnetic boundary layer that occurs at the outer boundary of the dayside magnetosphere. The solar-wind plasma dynamics is investigated, along with the magnetic- and electric-field distributions with the magnetopause. A wedge-shaped abstraction of the frontal point of the magnetosphere is employed for this purpose. The results obtained indicate that the thickness of the magnetopause decreases, and the electric-field strength within the magnetopause increases nearly linearly, as solar-wind speed increases.
