Elastic and inelastic cross sections for electron-deuteron scattering with large momentum transfer have been investigated. The calculation has been performed in the first Born approximation. The neutron-proton interaction has been described by a phenomenological potential, and the nucleons have been represented by point charges and point magnetic moments. Finite size of nucleons causes major correction to these results.
