At the magnetic dip equator, where the geomagnetic field is horizontal, this electric field results in an enhanced eastward current within ± 3 degrees of the magnetic equator, known as the equatorial electrojet.
In areas close to the magnetic dip equator, where the geomagnetic field lines are parallel, an electric field produces a strong eastward flow of electrons within a narrow band around the magnetic equator, referred to as the equatorial electrojet. This occurrence is relevant to understanding electrical currents in various natural phenomena.
