The dynamics involved in solar wind magnetosphere coupling when interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is northward is still poorly understood. When IMF is northward the coupling occurs at high latitude poleward of the cusp region. One of the methods of measuring this coupling is to calculate the polar cap potential (PCP). PCP is the difference between the maximum and minimum potential in the polar cap region. In this paper we show results obtained from Lyon Feeder Mobbary (LFM) simulation as well as satellite observation showing saturation of polar cap potential for strongly northward IMF. Furthermore, we compare the overall magnetosphere geometry obtained from ideal LFM simulation result with various satellite data during similar conditions of strongly northward IMF.
