Notes Motion in a uniform magnetic field Motion in a uniform magnetic field is a fundamental concept in plasma physics and can be understood by considering the Lorentz force that acts on charged particles moving through the ...
Notes Precession of an electron in magnetic field We consider an electron which has only spin degree of freedom. The electron has spin. The electron is negatively charged particle. So it has magnetic moment 𝜇_s due to spin. ...
Notes Diffusion across the magnetic field The diffusion coefficient in a plasma can be influenced by the presence of a magnetic field. The behaviour of charged particles, such as electrons and ions, in a magnetic field ...
