Electric structure in the gap. The solid line shows the solved accelerating field along the field line, which is located at 50% of the thickness from the last open field line. These results are for the inclination angle of 50° and for about 22% of the Goldreich‐Julian current in the gap. Beyond the null‐charge point, the dashed line is vacuum electric field obtained by Cheng et al. (1986a).
