Plasma return currents in a magnetic field

  • 1. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, University of California, Livermore, California 94550

Description

Whereas plasma return currents along a magnetic field arise for an electromagnetic diffusion time, it is found that appreciable plasma return currents perpendicular to a magnetic field are not induced for built-up times slow compared with an Alfven transit time
