Energetic electrons can be released in the solar corona (e.g. during flares) and travel along the magnetic field lines either towards the Sun or into the interplanetary space. The influences of the global magnetic and electric field as well as the Coulomb collisions on the transport of such electrons are numerically studied and a model for the electron propagation away from the acceleration site is developed. Estimating the altitude and the energy of the electron both at the acceleration site is possible with this model if one takes observations of spacecrafts as RHESSI and WIND into account.
