The characteristics of the electric field in the bow shock, dayside magnetopause, flanks of the magnetosphere, high latitude plasmasheet boundary and neutral sheet were determined using spherical double probes during the International Magnetospheric study. Electric field inhomogeneity and time variations make quantitative theoretical modeling of the magnetosphere electric field much more difficult than that of the magnetic field. Results reveal the inhomogeneous and dynamic character of magnetospheric plasma, and increase the importance of direct measurements of the electric field, carried out with much higher time resolution than corresponding measurements of plasma bulk motion. As the electric field often varies on a time scale compared to the satellite spin period, simultaneous three-axis measurements are important, to determine the full electric vector even when E.B = 0.
