Description

A completely ionized plasma consists of a large number of charged particles moving in an electromagnetic field consistent with their own presence. Given the electric field E(r, t), and the magnetic field B(r, t), the motion of the i-th particle is determined by the equations ri = vi (1) miVi = qi [E (ri, t) + vi x B (ri, t)] , (2) where ri, vi, mi and qi are the position, velocity, mass and charge of the particle
