We observed the interplanetary datasets, polar cap potential (PCV), three different types of High Intensity Long Duration Continuous AE Activities (HILDCAAs) and polar cap index (PCI) during geomagnetically quiet period. On each event, we examine the interplanetary electric field ($Ey$), polar cap potential (PCV), polar cap index (PCI) and westward auroral electrojet (AL) indices. We found little perturbations in $Ey$ during the quiet event, but significant perturbations during HILDCAAs. In particular, non-storm HILDCAA showed more perturbations in $Ey$ compared to the other two HILDCAAs. Due to sporadic energy pumping into the magnetosphere, $Ey$ was perturbed even after the non-storm HILDCAA. From CWT analysis, we found highest power intensities to have periodicity of more than 190 minutes for quiet event, non-storm HILDCAA and CIR-preceded HILDCAA. However, the magnitude of the higher power intensity was different: 11 units for PCV and PCI in quiet, 9 and 14 units respectively for PCV and PCI in non-storm HILDCAA, 15 units for PCV and PCI in CIR-preceded HILDCAA, and 23 and 14 units for PCV and PCI during ICME-preceded HILDCAA. PCV and PCI clearly showed that higher power intensities are found in higher timescales. In contrast, lower and middle power intensities are found across all timescales.
