Abstract There have been many magnetic field models for geophysical and astrophysical bodies. These theoretical or empirical models represent the reality very well in some cases, but in other cases they may be far from the reality. We argue that these models will become more reasonable if they are modified by some coordinate transformations. In order to demonstrate the transformation, we use this method to resolve the “pressure-balance inconsistency” problem that occurs when plasma transports from the outer plasma sheet of the Earth into the inner plasma sheet.
