Short summary
The electrical inductions within the Earth surface due to geomagnetic field variations were examined. For that purpose the records of the geomagnetic and geo-electric field variations observed in West Africa were used. We have found that the geomagnetic field brisk variations induce non-negligible geo-electric field variations at low latitudes. This result implies a possible intense geomagnetically induced current flow in the vicinity of the equatorial electrojet influence area.
