Of the planetary magnetospheres which have been explored, Jupiter's is by far the largest. It is a magnetosphere largely dominated by rotational effects. As such, it offers unique insight to the study of inaccessible pulsar magnetospheres. The present investigation is concerned with theoretical concepts which are believed to be consistent with available observations. It has been found that Io, the innermost of the Galilean satellites, is the principal source of plasma for the Jovian magnetosphere. The Io source is considered along with the solar-wind source, the ionospheric source, other satellite sources, and variations of the temperature and the content of the Io plasma torus with time. The rotation of Jupiter as the dominant source of energy for magnetospheric phenomena is discussed along with aspects of the Io-Jupiter interaction. Attention is also given to particle acceleration, and spin periodicity.
