Scientific paper

With regard to a unified description of auroral electric fields based on the interaction between a hot plasma and the earth's magnetic field that is being sought, it is shown that a large potential drop must exist along the magnetic field lines in regions of upward current under very general conditions. This result does not require any kind of 'anomalous resistivity' nor any particular pitch-angle anisotropy, and the electric field does not necessarily have a time-invariant spatial structure.
