Scientific paper

An analysis of the amplitude spectra of electric field strength inside the equatorial radiation belts (showing the strong attenuation of these fields with decreasing geocentric distance) is used to obtain an expression for the electric-diffusion coefficient (EC). This EC is compared with the magnetic coefficient (MC) characteristic of the medium-disturbed state in the magnetosphere (Kp = 2) and with an MC taking into account the existence of irregularities in the HF (greater than 5 mHz) part of the spectrum of the geomagnetic field strength. It is shown that the electric diffusion is dominant at L greater than 5 and L less than 2.
