Scientific paper

The flux transferred from the solar wind to the earth magnetosphere is calculated. It is shown that the Poynting-vector flux transferred to the reconnection region is primarily generated in the transition region between the detached-shock front and the magnetopause because of the deceleration of the solar wind and the partial conversion of its kinetic energy into magnetic energy. The dependence of the energy conversion coefficient on the IMF intensity is established.
