Mechanisma of Transverse Conductivity and Generation of Self-Consistent Electric Fields in Strongly Ionized Magnetized Plasma

  • Chapter
Review of Plasma Physics

Part of the book series: Reviews of Plasma Physics ((ROPP,volume 24))

Abstract

In many areas of plasma physics a problem of currents flowing perpendicular to a magnetic field in the presence of an electric field arises. This is also typical for fully ionized plasmas. However, the situation in fully ionized plasma is completely different from that in a solid state, gases, or partially ionized plasmas, where current is simply proportional to the applied electric field and the corresponding conductivity is determined by the collisions between charged particles and neutrals. In fully ion-ized plasmas, a homogeneous electric field causes \( \vec E \times \vec B \) drift both for electrons and ions perpendicular to the electric field and no current in the direction of the electric field is generated.
