The force between the Earth and magnetospheric tail is assumed balanced by a tanential stress on the solar wind. The stress acting against the solar wi wind kinetic energy into magnetic energy stored in the tail. Consequently the tail radius increases and the inner edge of the neutral sheet moves earthward. This one-way development is stopped by a magnetic bay which restores a lower energy state and the process begins again. The estimated time between bays by this mechanism is 2-20 hr. The arguments can be extended to discuss the development of the geomagnetic storm main phase.
