Notes Motion in a uniform magnetic field with finite E When analysing the motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field, it's essential to understand how different forces affect the particle's trajectory. Let's dive into the situation where ...
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 Debye Shielding Debye shielding is a concept from plasma physics and electrochemistry that describes how electric fields are screened or shielded in a plasma or electrolyte due to the presence of mobile ...
Notes BGK mode in Plasma The term "BGK mode" refers to a specific mode of behaviour in plasma physics known as the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) approximation. The BGK approximation is a simplification of the Boltzmann …
Notes Landau Damping Landau damping is a phenomenon that occurs in plasma physics and describes the damping of waves or oscillations in a plasma due to the resonant interaction between the waves and ...
Notes Theoretical details for two stream instability The two-stream instability is a fundamental concept in plasma physics that describes an instability arising from the interaction between two counter-propagating beams or streams of charged particles. …
Notes Lower hybrid frequencies in the studies of waves in plasma In a plasma, which is a collection of charged particles, different types of waves can occur, such as electromagnetic waves and plasma waves. The behavior of these waves depends on ...
Notes Validity of plasma Approximation ELI5: Imagine you have a group of very tiny particles, like the ones you can't even see with your eyes. These particles can have positive or negative charges, like little ...
