The plasma current sheet in the magnetotail was determined by calculating the curl of the magnetic field observed on ISEE-1. It is found that the current is confined in the neutral sheet. The thickness of the sheet = 3Re, and current density = 0.015 amp/sqkm. The relation between the magnetic field and the energetic particles was also analyzed. When the magnetic field in the geomagnetic lobe has a northen component, the intensity of the protons and electrons increases.
