Scientific paper

It is shown that, above the auroral ionosphere, the appearance of anomalous resistance on various sections of the field lines during the passage of longitudinal current must give rise to a pattern of electric fields with a strong transverse component of about 1 V/m that does not penetrate into the ionosphere. Spectrograms of the electron precipitations must have the form of inverted 'V's'. The energy flux transported by accelerated electrons is proportional to the square of the accelerating potential.
