Description:

The prerequisites for understanding the physics discussed in this book are

some basic understanding of the magnetosphere and its principal regions and

perturbations, and a reasonably good knowledge of electromagnetism, up to and

including Maxwell’s equations. To remind the reader of some necessary tools from

that latter discipline, we have written Appendix A.1 which, rather than a mere

presentation of algebraic, differential and geometric vector relationships between

magnetic and electric field quantities needed in the main text, presents a discussion

of the physical meaning and field-topological consequences of such relationships.
