Abstract
The nonlinear interaction between an electron and a whistler wave propagating in a magnetoplasma has been studied and expressions for the resonance velocity, equilibrium relative phase angle, and the angular frequency of amplitude oscillations have been derived, taking into account the finite amplitude of the whistler wave, direct current electric field, and medium inhomogeneity. The parallel electric field and inhomogeneity cause detrapping of the particles.
