contents The operating principles of a DC and low frequency electric field detector are developed, after which, examples of earlier important electric field measurements are presented, including, the first observation of parallel electric fields in the auroral acceleration region, the first observation of time domain structures in space, the first experimental verification of symmetric magnetic field reconnection, the first observations of triggered ion acoustic waves, and oblique whistlers that directly accelerate electrons. Future possible improvements in the electric field measurement technique are described.
