This term paper explores the physics behind geomagnetic storms, focusing on the Volland-Stern model, which details the ring current's nose structure and its implications for stormtime plumes and tails. Additionally, we analyze the energetic ion local-time distributions and their relationship to the saturation of the cross polar cap potential through the Siscoe-Hill model. The paper employs a transmission-line analogy for better comprehension of geomagnetic substorms and presents a comprehensive overview of these topics to enhance our understanding of space plasmas.
