Advantages of electric circuit models for treating the substorm breakup problem

• It is shown, by using a circuit model for the magnetospheric current system, that the substorm breakup can be triggered either by some instability anywhere in the circuit or by a decrease in the generator emf, i.e., a northward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field.
