On resonances of a plane plasma condenser in crossed electric and magnetic fields

Abstract

Resonance frequencies of a plane plasma condenser in crossed electric and magnetic fields are determined, using the two-component magnetic hydrodynamical equations. The perturbed plasma parameters (ion and electron densities and velocities and the electric field in the plasma), due to an external a.c. electric field are found. The calculated resonance is not exact since dissipative processes are neglected.
