Figure 6. Profiles of the parallel electric field calculated for the stationary state versus the length of the magnetic field line given in the nightside auroral magnetosphere. The solid and dotted lines represent the strength of the total parallel electric field and the part of the parallel electric field caused by the anomalous resistivity of the plasma, respectively. The curves are shown for the case where Drperp=100  km, Eperp=10  mV m-1, and W/(nkBT2)=1times 10-3 at s=0. Besides, n1/n3=10 at the top of the given magnetic field line (s=sm) for t=0.
