Effects of external fields on the potential of a test charge in a plasma

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

This paper considers the far field potential of a stationary test charge in a plasma. It is shown that external fields can have a significant influence on the potential which can be very large when an upper hybrid wave propagates through the plasma.
