Abstract

The force-free electromagnetic field represents a natural generalization of the well-known force-free magnetic field model and allows the magnetic field to maintain electric charge separation.

The basic equation for the cylindrical oscillations of the force-free electromagnetic field is obtained and solved for a linear case. The spectrum of possible resonances in a magnetized atmosphere is discussed.
