A three-dimensional lab model of the magnetosphere was constructed on the basis of theoretical and experimental results on the interaction of a supersonic flow of collisionless plasma with a magnetic dipole field. For the earth magnetosphere, the velocity of the artificial solar wind was directed perpendicular to the axis of the dipole. The lab model has a magnetotail on the night side, with trapped particles (the radiation belt) within the field lines, and a collisionless shock wave at the boundary of the day side. It is suggested that the Uranus magnetosphere has a tubiform magnetotail. Consideration is given to the transition from a tubiform current sheet in the tail to a plane current sheet as the inclination of the dipole to the solar wind velocity vector varies from 0 to 90 deg.
