The geomagnetic field in the near-earth magnetotail is made up of three major contributions related to the dipole field, the magnetotail current system, and the magnetopause current system exclusive of the return currents in the magnetotail current system. The present investigation is concerned with the third contribution. The calculation of the magnetospheric field is discussed, taking into account the calculation of the field inside the magnetopause on the basis of the numerical integration of the Biot Savart integral. The representation of the field for distances greater than 10 earth radii on the dark side of the magnetosphere is considered. The field internal to the magnetopause is expressed as the negative gradient of a scalar potential which is expressed as a sum of solutions to Laplace's equation in cylindrical coordinates. The origin of coordinates is the earth.
