Scientific paper
An analysis is presented of the generation of electric fields and currents in the magnetotail under the influence of viscous friction of the solar wind against the magnetospheric plasma; emphasis is placed on the role of the polar ionosphere. It is shown that the ionosphere is responsible for forming the structure of longitudinal currents, and influences the parameters of electric and magnetic fields in the magnetotail. Ionospheric conductivity determines the dimensions of the region of counterflow in the plasma sheet. The electric field in the tail is directed from evening to morning in regions that border on the solar wind, and is directed from morning to evening in the central region. The interface of these regions is also controlled by ionospheric conductivity.
