Abstract
It is shown how the plateau that has been revealed earlier in the nonlinear dependence of the experimentally studied electrical conductivity of a turbulent plasma on the electric field strength can be understood by taking into account the turbulent Joule heating of the plasma electrons. A new, experimentally possible physical pattern of the penetration of a quasistatic vortex electric field into a turbulent plasma is revealed that is attributed to the time dependence of the anomalous turbulent conductivity or, more generally, to the temporally nonlocal relationship between the current density and the electric field strength due to turbulent heating.
