Scientific paper

The simplest theory of electric circuits is applied to analysis of the observed large-scale electric field and currents in a disturbed magnetosphere-ionosphere system. Maps of distribution of field-aligned currents (FACs) obtained from ground-based magnetic measurements using the original magnetogram inversion method (MIT) and measurements by satellites were used. A method for circuit determination according to the data of such maps based on the detection of spatial R.N inhomogeneities in each of three Iijima and Potemra FAC zones is proposed. The results of the new method are used to describe some electric field and current generators not known before, new types of current systems in tail lobes and plasma sheet, and the formation and dynamics of new types of three-dimensional systems with auroral electrojets and meridional ionospheric Pedersen current, which have not been paid due attention in the literature.
