Scientific paper

The interaction between the solar wind plasma and a planetary obstacle, e.g., the Earth's dipole field, is examined. The magnetic field structure of the Earth's dipole is analyzed for the case of an incomplete shielding. The physical quantities which are important in this context are modeled and studied. The principle mechanism of the model is seen as a relative motion between a current sheet and a magnetic dipole initiating a force at the charged particles within the conductive sheet. According to the dipole's position relative to the current sheet which is responsible for a current system and a sheet magnetic field. The superposition of these current sheets and dipole fields leads to magnetic field structures which are expected to be found around the subsolar magnetopause.
