Hannes Alfvén considered the heliospheric current sheet to be part of a heliospheric current system, as he believed all cosmic plasmas to be part of a plasma circuit. The Sun behaves as a unipolar inductor producing a current that flows outwards along both axes B2, and inwards in the equatorial plane, C, and along Solar magnetic field lines B1. The current closes at a large distance, B3.
Image created by Ian Tresman on July 13th, 2005, based on an images by Hannes Alfvén in his book Cosmic Plasma (1981), p.55.
