The relationship between sudden northward turnings of the B(z), North-South, component of the IMF and the equatorial East-West electric field is discussed. It is suggested that in addition to the shielding charges on the inner edge of the ring current created by the turning of B(z), the shielding charges in the magnetosphere boundary layer play a role in the occurrence of B(z) related perturbations in the equatorial electric field. It is proposed that the turn of B(z) facilitates a prompt and effective decrease of the magnetospheric convection related electric field, causing the shielding charges in the inner magnetosphere to produce a dusk-to-dawn electric field perturbation which penetrates into the low latitude ionosphere. This theory is supported by recorded high variances of IMF around the times of northward swings of B(z).
