An experiment investigating the behavior of magnetospheric plasma is described. A powered double probe (PDP) discharge tracer is used to observe the plasma optically along the magnetic line which crosses the PDP position; the configuration of the magnetic field lines is examined. Plasmas along the magnetic field lines of a pure dipole field and a distorted dipole field are analyzed. It is observed that a deformation of the magnetic field line at the nightside region is a result of interaction between a plasma flow and a dipole field, and no oscillation or instability of the magnetic field lines are detected. It is concluded, based on these data, that a ground state exists in the magnetosphere.
