A detailed study of the diamagnetic properties of magnetospheric plasma injected at synchronous altitudes is presented. Defining the magnetic induction field B = H + 4piM, the magnetization M is computed from the plasma distribution functions and it is shown that the diamagnetic contribution of the particles having energies of 100 eV to 81 eV can completely account for observed changes in the magnetic induction energy density. Computation of the resulting magnetic field H indicates that the current system in the magnetosphere is complex. Significant changes in H have been observed in a few minutes time scale. Studies of the particle density at various magnetic moments show that both protons and electrons together or individually act to cause the diamagnetic variations in B.
