A new model of the earth's electric field in the equatorial plane has been constructed. While many models have been proposed, most of these have had serious shortcomings. They either have only a few parameters and cannot hope to match even large scale variations in the real field, or they are too complex to be suitable starting points for constructing time dependent three dimensional models which include inductive fields. Also, few previous models have a continuous functional dependence upon magnetic disturbance levels. The new model uses only a dozen parameters and yet fits many of the known dependences upon radial distance, local time, and magnetic disturbance level. One of the roles of electric field models is to predict and understand the motion of charged particles. Models like this one which are based upon a time dependent scalar potential can greatly help in the understanding of the motion of equatorial particles during the time periods between substorms.
