In Jupiter's magnetosphere, the structure of the plasma sheet depends on the magnetic field geometry and the centrifugal forces on the plasma. We present a simple formulation for the centrifugal equator, the farthest point along a magnetic flux tube from the planetary spin axis, for Jupiter's torus to plasma sheet region (5-30 jovian radii). The formulation is based on a dipole magnetic field and azimuthally symmetric current sheet, both tilted by 9.5 degrees toward System III west longitude of 201 degrees. We find a good fit to such a model with a hyperbolic tangent function varying sinusoidally with longitude. The latitudinal angle of the derived centrifugal equator relative to the jovigraphic equator changes from the dipolar value (2/3 of the dipole tilt) around 5 jovian radii to close to the full dipole tilt at 25 jovian radii.
