EFFECT OF ION-ACOUSTIC OSCILLATIONS ON THE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF A WEAKLY IONIZED PLASMA,

Abstract

Study of the effect of ion acoustic oscillations on the electrical conductivity of a weakly ionized plasma using a quasi linear approximation. The ion electron collisions are neglected, and the Bhatnagar Gross Krook model of the collision integral is used to account for the collisions of electrons with neutral particles. An expression is derived for the critical time above which an appreciable decrease in electrical conductivity takes place.
