Abstract
A study is made of the changes in an adiabatic invariant in configurations with a reversed magnetic field in the case when the initial value of the ad iabatic invariant is small. Applications of the results obtained to the mot ion of charged particles in the Earth's magnetospheric tail are discussed.
